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 charming, retro-styled adventure with cute pixel graphics and light puzzle-solving, where you guide a brave dog through ghost-filled levels.

What players say

Players describe Milo's Quest as a short, cute Zelda-like adventure with a dog hero and simple sokoban puzzles. It lasts about 2-3 hours and is light on difficulty, though some find the box pushing controls janky and note that the lack of a map makes navigation confusing.
