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 methodical, retro-styled platformer where you mine and fight through procedurally generated caverns with a steady sense of challenge.

What players say

Players find Dwarf Journey a short, fun roguelite with a grindy power curve and easy boss patterns. There is some disagreement on controls, with a few calling them clunky on keyboard. Most agree the content wears thin after a few hours.
