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 light-hearted, linear pixel-art adventure where you balance limited energy to steadily level up and gather loot.

What players say

Players are split on Hero's Quest: some find it an addictive rogue-lite worth many hours, while others call it abandoned and far too grindy. A vocal group is frustrated that the developer has ignored years of requests for a save reset feature, and many say the game is repetitive and requires excessive ticket grinding.
