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 frantic escape through a surreal maze, upgrading gear while being chased by an encroaching darkness.

What players say

Players call it a short and fun prologue from the makers of Bit Dungeon, with a metroidvania system where you charge into enemies rather than swing a sword. Several wish for a full-length sequel, though one review worries the developer abandoned an earlier game.
