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 methodical, retro-styled turn-based dungeon crawler where you manage multiple parties and towns in a procedurally generated fantasy world.

What players say

Players call it a niche old-school dungeon crawler that mixes overworld strategy with first-person dungeon crawling, comparing it to Wizardry and Heroes of Might and Magic. They warn the UI feels dated and the game gets tedious on large worlds or higher difficulties, but they also praise its addictive, relaxing grind.
