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 light-hearted, retro-styled dungeon delve where you manage a party through auto-battles and careful retreats, growing stronger with each run.

What players say

Players say Dragon Ruins is a short, semi-idle dungeon crawler designed for low-effort play, with battles resolving automatically while you focus on navigation. Its minimalist mechanics and brief runtime divide opinion: most call it a charming vibe for busy gamers, but one reviewer found it too shallow and repetitive.
