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, strategic roguelike where you carefully plan around the randomness of dice rolls in a colorful, cartoon dungeon.

What players say

Players praise the charming art, music, and distinct characters, but many find the game becomes repetitive quickly due to shallow deckbuilding and heavy reliance on RNG. Opinions split on difficulty: some enjoy the challenge, while others feel it relies on luck rather than skill.
