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 turn-based dungeon crawl where every step is a gamble, laced with absurd humour and the constant threat of permadeath.

What players say

Players praise its humor and deep skill system but split on the dated visuals and bugs that can end a run. Many say it is very hard, and some find the sprites and UI a visual nightmare.
