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 challenging, retro-style dungeon crawl where you explore grid-based rooms, reading on-screen clues to avoid traps and monsters before hunting a greedy, consuming beast.

What players say

Players call it a charming retro dungeon game with procedurally generated maps that stay fresh. It is easy to pick up but challenging to master. Some are split on whether it is a true dungeon crawler, noting it lacks RPG elements and plays more like a pathing puzzle. The low price and built-in dungeon editor are frequently mentioned positives.
