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 goofy, hands-on adventure through an abandoned farm and lab where sentient corn and constant surprises keep the tone light and curious.

What players say

Players praise Maize as a delightfully stupid adventure that embraces its absurd premise, though some find the puzzle logic baffling. The game is short, around three hours, and includes non-skippable cutscenes with no subtitles.
