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 retro-styled action RPG where you dig, craft, and fight through randomly generated dungeons with a focus on survival and loot progression.

What players say

Players report the game crashes on launch or stops working entirely, and those who get in find the mechanics, inventory, and digging unpolished and frustrating. A minority praises the game but agrees quality-of-life fixes are needed.
