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 quick, puzzle-like roguelike that challenges you to think tactically in short, replayable bursts.

What players say

Players praise the surprising depth and wealth of content for a simple-looking puzzle roguelike, with quick 10-30 minute runs and lots of class and dungeon variety. A minority find the combat too reliant on exploiting rules, and one reviewer hit a frustrating gold cap bug that prevented progression.
