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 tense and tactical turn-based puzzle where each move is decisive, with heroes that can regenerate and mimic foes but die in one hit.

What players say

Players describe it as a chess roguelike runner where you move a piece across a board and transform into beaten enemies. The combat is turn-based with class movement patterns. Reviews are split: some praise the unusual concept and base-building, while others warn of grindy progression and permanent upgrade choices that can lead to a dead end.
