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 tense, methodical crawl across a hostile land where every hex step demands hard trade-offs between survival and progress.

What players say

Players call it a love letter to old-school dungeon crawlers with dice-based combat and hexagon exploration. The art style is minimalist but atmospheric, and losing a character means starting over while enemies keep your dead hero's loot. The game is in early access with more content expected.
