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 methodical labyrinth game where you cautiously navigate and use mask powers to outwit surprise enemies and tricky layouts, with difficulty that can shift from casual to punishing.

What players say

Players compare it to Pac-Man but find it tedious rather than fun. The mask mechanic requires collecting coins to attack ghosts, but reviewers say the controls and menu design feel broken. Most agree the game has a large number of repetitive levels.
