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 gentle, whimsical puzzle game where you guide a group of mummies through trap-filled chambers in a lighthearted, LEGO-like world.

What players say

Players love the cute voxel art and mummy animations, but split on the controls: some find them clumsy and point out the lack of mouse support due to its console roots, while others discover holding both mouse buttons works. The difficulty is a surprise, the early levels are very easy, yet later ones ramp up so fast that only about 5% of players finish all 30 levels.
