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 compact, tactical roguelike where each move feels deliberate as you outwit enemies in short, procedurally generated grid-based battles.

What players say

Players finish Endhall in under two hours and call it a bite-sized tactical game with low replay value despite its rogue-lite label. It is often compared to a lighter Into the Breach, and opinions split on whether the brevity is refreshing or disappointing.
