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 tense, dark fantasy dungeon crawl where you methodically navigate perilous corridors and fight monsters with deliberate grid-based movement.

What players say

Players are split: some praise recent developer updates that added key rebinding, audio sliders and new content, while others report crashes on launch, no mouse support, no manual saving, and a frustrating restart-from-scratch system. The combat relies on timing and can feel punishing, and the game uses a 'Groundhog Day' structure where death sends you back to the start of the level.
