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 thoughtful, turn-based card game where you carefully plan each route through monster-filled dungeons, with a sense of discovery and replayability.

What players say

Players describe it as a puzzle-like roguelike where movement on colored tiles triggers auto-attacks, with depth emerging from tile positioning. Opinions split on difficulty and randomness: some appreciate the strategic depth, while others find it overly luck-dependent and punishing for new players. The tutorial is widely criticized as unclear.
