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 tense, turn-based sci-fi-horror roguelike where every move against demonic hordes can be your last, with a retro CRT aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise Jupiter Hell as a deep traditional roguelike with a steep learning curve, noting even easy mode is far from easy and it takes dozens of hours to see a fraction of the content. Some warn that the Mac version no longer works, and a few find the UI too small.
