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

Playing feels like carefully matching tiles to build power, defend, and explore dungeons with a light, strategic pace.

What players say

Players say this match-3 roguelite has a promising idea but a boring, unfair execution. Enemies shoot from range while you are stuck with melee, progression is a grind, and the game fails to explain its own mechanics. Some praise the simple, addictive loop but note it is unfinished and lacks content.
