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 cute but deceptively tricky turn-based puzzle-dungeon crawler where every move matters.

What players say

Players are split on the procedural generation: some find levels unsolvable without spending gold, while others enjoy the puzzle depth. The game crashed multiple times for some, and there is no in-game help for randomized levels. Reviews mention an update that removed a time-limit ghost, and fans appreciate the secrets and multiple characters.
