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

Exploring a dim, metallic dungeon alone in your mech, each step feels tense as you cautiously peek around corners and brace for harsh turn-based fights against security bots.

What players say

Players describe this as a tough, old-school sci-fi dungeon crawler that demands patience and careful exploration. The progression is slow, the controls take getting used to, and upgrading the wrong thing can set you back, but most find the challenge fair. A standout feature is that savescumming is treated as a canonical ability.
