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 measured, turn-by-turn crawl through a quirky procedurally generated pixel dungeon with a lighthearted strategic feel.

What players say

Players praise the dice-drafting combat, writing, and soundtrack, but warn that hard mode feels unfair because bosses adjust dice after you. The game requires a controller and has no keyboard and mouse support. Some find poison and mirror gems overpowered.
