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 fluid, punishing hack-and-slash roguelike where each run pushes you deeper into a beautifully hand-drawn underworld, with progression tied to both triumphs and failures.

What players say

Players love the expanded combat and sheer volume of content compared to the first game, with many saying it outshines the original. They split on the writing: some call it weak and dull, others praise the voice acting and character detail. A frequent complaint is the excessive gathering and inventory grind, especially for late-game unlocks.
