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 slow-burning, tactical dungeon crawl where every decision feels heavy against an ancient, looming evil.

What players say

Players praise the positional turn-based combat and the creative 'throw weapon and retrieve it' mechanic, calling runs puzzle-like and highly replayable. Some find weapons too similar and builds never get wacky enough, while others love discovering combos. Controls can feel clunky, especially on Steam Deck without the right preset.
