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 deliberate, tension-filled dungeon crawl where every swing and step matters, balanced by the grim humor of friends playing monsters.

What players say

Players praise the depth of its secrets, weapons, and builds, but warn of a punishing early grind and clunky stamina-based combat where enemies do not follow the same rules. Reviewers regularly describe it as a rough gem that demands heavy time investment before clicks.
