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, turn-based dungeon crawl where each permadeath run demands careful planning and rewards careful looting.

What players say

Players are split on Hack, Slash, Loot. Supporters call it a fun, fast-paced turn-based roguelike with a satisfying snowball effect when lucky. Detractors say the heavy RNG leaves no room for strategy and feels unfair, and some report the UI is clunky or the game does not work on Windows 11.
