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 minimalist timed puzzle where you carefully steer a cursor through procedurally generated mazes, with tension rising as difficulty increases.

What players say

Players are split on this simple maze game. Some enjoy the tense, short horror sessions with procedural mazes and a time limit. Others call it shallow and boring, like an old Flash game. The mouse-based controls that require clicking and dragging are a common complaint.
