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 dice-driven roguelike where every turn hinges on random rolls, demanding careful resource management with a tone of dark comedy.

What players say

Players praise the core gameplay and low price, but many hit a wall at the final world where enemies reduce all damage to 1 and the final boss demands a specific blessing. Reviews split between those who call it a chill, replayable run and those who find balance horrendous, with some questioning whether the developer has abandoned early access.
