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 and strategic dungeon-crawling RPG that feels like a classic adventure, balancing careful exploration and turn-based combat with a sense of peaceful discovery.

What players say

Players say this is a no-frills dungeon crawler faithful to the 2007 original, with the draw-your-own-map mechanic as the main draw. The difficulty starts punishing, eases up mid-game, then spikes hard in the post-game. Late-game balance is a sore point: players either find your party too strong by level 40 or call the final bosses unfair since they can one-shot you.
