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 minesweeper-inspired dungeon crawler where you tactically play cards to clear cursed levels, mixing strategic planning with light humor.

What players say

Players compare it to Desktop Dungeons with a minesweeper-style tile reveal that limits how many actions you take per turn. Runs are short, around 15 to 30 minutes, and the large roster of classes and races offers many builds. Opinion splits on balance: some say it is overly luck-based and needs polishing, while others find it challenging but fair.
