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, decision-heavy crawl through procedurally generated dark dungeons where every step forward is final and survival depends on careful item and path choices.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to Forward: Escape the Fold but say it has very little variety across runs, with each class getting the same limited pool of upgrades. Many note the tutorial is unclear, meta progression is absent, and the game feels like a mobile title. It is praised for short, snappy runs, but criticized for getting old quickly.
