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 calm, spatial puzzle experience where you methodically flag and clear mines in a fully manipulable 3D space.

What players say

A 3D take on minesweeper that fans of the original enjoy but players split on the controls, some find them fine, others say they are awkward without a chord feature. Performance is heavy, e.g., hitting 70-80% GPU load on a 1070, and the game requires VR hardware, not a regular PC.
