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 methodical puzzle dungeon crawl where every move and resource decision counts.

What players say

Players praise the clever level design and deep resource management puzzles, though some find it more of an optimization puzzle than an RPG. The game is longer and harder than the first, with a steeper difficulty curve that the optional easy mode helps. Graphics are dated, but the gameplay and optional challenges keep fans returning.
