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

You guide a glowing sphere through dark maze corridors, relying on scattered energy to stay lit as you search for an exit.

What players say

Players are split: some find the atmosphere and music relaxing for short sessions, but many criticize the lack of options, the large tedious mazes, poor optimization, and the price as too high for what it offers.
