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 fast-paced, chaotic dungeon brawler where players mow down endless monster hordes with friends.

What players say

Players call it a fun co-op dungeon crawler that captures the old Gauntlet spirit with modern arcade action. They praise the wizard class design, note it works well for short sessions, and say the last boss is brutally hard. Some find achievements grindy and the content thin for the price.
