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 relaxing retro maze navigation game with tactical bullet heaven survival and take-your-time gameplay.

What players say

Players praise the core idea of a time-stop maze crawler with a strong soundtrack, but nearly everyone agrees the game runs out of content fast: only four levels, two enemy types, and characters that are all interchangeable.
