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 hack-and-slash roguelike where you learn from mistakes and grind through procedurally generated combat encounters in a dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players find Herolike a repetitive and clunky action-RPG with small recycled maps, floaty movement, and dodgy hitboxes. A few enjoy the town-building and roguelike elements, but most say the combat gets boring fast and the game lacks depth, with some reporting crashes on startup.
