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 match-3 roguelite with a cozy, whimsical feel where you battle quirky monsters and upgrade your powers through tile-matching and silly character interactions.

What players say

Players describe a lighthearted, addictive match-3 roguelike with charming hand-painted art and funny writing about rats. The combat is simple and the game leans easy, but some wish for better explanations and more build variety.
