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 lighthearted, turn-based roguelike where you casually haul huge inventories of quirky artifacts through procedurally generated dungeons in short, funny runs.

What players say

Players describe it as a coffee-break roguelike with quick runs and a lot of inventory slots, but opinions split on the randomness, some find the RNG frustrating and uninteresting, while others enjoy the gamble and replay value. The developer last mentioned save progress in 2018, and long-time players wonder if development has stalled.
