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

Tactical dungeon crawling with a deceptive layer of depth in combat, where looting and progression loop through infinite paragon levels.

What players say

Players describe a free-to-play turn-based dungeon crawler with an auto-battle feature that feels like a Diablo-lite you can idle. Sentiment is mixed: many praise the loot-driven loop and responsive developers, but long-term players note content thins out quickly, grinding for paragon levels becomes the main activity, and a minority reports bugs like lost currencies on logout.
