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

The game feels like a darkly comic power trip where you micromanage a dungeon of vile creatures, gleefully repelling heroic invaders with ruthless glee.

What players say

Players praise the original dungeon management and villainous twist, but many say the game shows its age with clunky controls and poor performance at high creature counts. Most recommend playing with the free KeeperFX mod for modern hardware support and fixes.
