The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a fast-paced dungeon crawl where you carefully build and position your party to survive traps and monster encounters.

What players say

Players praise the class variety and class-switching system but warn the game was abandoned by the developer shortly after release. The game suffers from memory leak and stuttering issues that break an otherwise decent dungeon crawler with a rune socketing system.
