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 playful strategy game where you design a dungeon to lose on purpose, balancing challenge with hidden whimsy

What players say

Players praise the unique concept of making heroes happy while losing, but many find it becomes trial-and-error guesswork because interactions are unpredictable. Opinions split: some enjoy the light puzzle challenge, others call it repetitive and frustrating. The cute art style and inexpensive price are frequent positives.
