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 brisk, strategic card-driven dungeon crawl where each choice matters and death means starting over.

What players say

Players describe it as a quick, minimalist roguelike that feels like solitaire in a dungeon. Many report seeing everything in under a dozen runs and note that runs can be lost to luck despite interesting trade-off decisions.
