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.

What players say

Players like the Lovecraftian roguelike mix, especially the setting in the Dreamlands instead of usual mythos locations. They praise the addictive gameplay loop, cool weapon upgrades, and striking visuals. The procedural generation can make first areas feel predictable, and the game is still early in development.
