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 strategically demanding roguelike where each run through procedurally generated dungeons feels fresh, punctuated by retro pixel art that can be swapped for a modern look, lighthearted humor, and the constant threat of permadeath.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the dungeon crawling and events, others find combat unsatisfying and encounter game-freezing bugs that wipe progress. Development is active, but the early-access state leaves many waiting for more polish.
