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 methodical and tense retro dungeon crawl through burning mines and hostile monster settlements, with a grim rescue mission driving your party forward.

What players say

Players say this is a faithful old-school blobber in the style of early Might and Magic or Bard's Tale, with a tough early game that eases after leveling up. Some praise the developer's continued updates, while others report frequent freezes and clunky last-gen art.
