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 slow, deliberately paced dungeon crawl where you drift through monochrome pixel art, solving puzzles and possessing enemies to escape a crypt.

What players say

Players consistently describe it as a Zelda-like dungeon crawler with a unique possession mechanic. There are no rogue-lite elements, progress saves and maps are handcrafted. Some find the combat janky, and the game is short, structured as a stack of dungeons without an overworld.
