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.

What players say

Players are split on Dungeons of Clay. Many praise the unique art style and dark ambient soundtrack, but a significant number complain about the chaotic visual effects that obscure enemies and traps, suggesting turning off post-processing. The game is described as short, with runs under two hours, and while some find it brutally fun but fair, others call it bland and too easy or too hard.
