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.

What players say

Players call Dicey Words a compelling mix of word-building and roguelike strategy, praising the badge system and reroll mechanics for adding depth. Some find the difficulty spikes badly after level 10, even on the easiest setting, suggesting scaling issues.
