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

You manage a dungeon as an evil overlord, directing goblin workers and setting traps to repel heroes with a lighthearted, strategic feel.

What players say

Players are split on this 2011 dungeon management game. Many are unable to play at all due to a mandatory launcher and login requirement that crashes or fails on Windows 10 and 11. Those who can play say the campaign is linear and the gameplay becomes tedious, with too few room types and a system that requires pampering heroes rather than fighting them, leading some to call it boring.
