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 short, tense sprint where each run is a frantic race against a ticking clock to memorize and escape a shifting maze.

What players say

Players enjoy the fast-paced 60-second horror gameplay that forces them to keep moving instead of hiding. Many note the instant kill mechanics for looking at certain things, which makes them spend most of the time looking at the floor. There are multiple endings and starting points, and several players find it great for speedrunning.
