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

Managing a comically evil dungeon feels like a lighthearted strategy sandbox with a narrator who winks at you through every macguffin.

What players say

Players say it is a fun Dungeon Keeper-style mix of base building and real-time strategy with a witty narrator. They note uneven difficulty, especially on higher settings, and some miss the complexity of Dungeons 3. A few report a frustrating launcher that prevents the game from starting.
