Just One More Catch

Just One More Catch is a single-player creature-catching roguelike about building a collection, taking calculated risks, and knowing when to head home.

You are a young aspiring trainer who arrives in Ashford with the savings to buy a first companion. Beyond the town lies a mysterious realm filled with creatures, resources, and danger. A better catch could transform your team. The question is whether you can bring it home.

Find the right companions

Catch creatures with different individual strengths, talents, and skills. Even two creatures of the same species can offer different possibilities. Weaken wild opponents before attempting a capture, then decide which new companions deserve a place in your growing collection.

Build a team that works together

Take up to six creatures on an expedition and field up to three at once in turn-based battles. Combine elemental matchups, skills, and positioning: the creature at the front takes pressure while those behind it provide support. Adjust your lineup between battles to prepare for what comes next.

Know when to turn back

Choose your route through a realm of 99 floors across nine regions. Health, mana, and lasting conditions carry over between battles, so every fight affects the journey ahead. Manage supplies, discover resources, and weigh another challenge against a safe extraction. New captures and expedition rewards only become permanent when you return safely.

Make a living between expeditions

Back in Ashford, manage your collection and the cost of life as a trainer. Pay for food, lodging, and creature care. Decide how to use the magic crystals you bring back, which companions to keep, and which to sell for silver.

Each new expedition starts your creatures at level one, while their individual qualities and your secured collection remain. Learn from each journey, refine your team, and set out to catch just one more.
