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

Playing feels like methodically mapping a labyrinth with pencil and graph paper, where each step risks an unforgiving party wipe.

What players say

A faithful Wizardry clone that brings over both the charm and the pain of the old games, including random stat decreases on level up and no item descriptions. Players split on whether its authenticity is a feature or a flaw, but agree it is difficult and rewarding for DRPG veterans. It is short for the genre, around 18 to 25 hours, and the developer never added post-game content.
