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, time-pressured maze game where limited visibility and multiple connected screens force quick memorization and strategic pathfinding under the clock.

What players say

Players praise the maze-puzzle gameplay that escalates quickly in difficulty, with a short campaign that can be finished in one sitting. The arcade and endless modes keep them coming back for high-score runs, and many mention the boost and vision abilities as a unique twist that changes how they plan each level.
