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 tense, high-stakes dungeon crawl where careful planning and skillful hack-and-slash combat are essential to survive relentless enemies and repeated failures.

What players say

Players are split on Slay the Minotaur: many love the tense cat-and-mouse gameplay with the Minotaur and find the loop addicting despite janky combat and repetitive environments, while others call it a frustrating RNG-fest with an unrewarding ending.
