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, satirical dungeon crawler where you bash monsters with office junk in brightly colored, procedurally generated ruins, blending lighthearted humor with punishing difficulty.

What players say

Players praise the writing and startup-culture parody, but are split on the combat: some find it satisfying while others call it clunky, with unreliable dodging and no parry. The game is short, roughly 10 to 15 hours, and has a steep early difficulty spike, along with bugs that never got patched.
