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 frantic underground vehicular escape through alien tunnels, driven by the constant threat of something lurking beyond the dark.

What players say

This Is No Cave is a short racing-platformer where players must memorize levels to succeed. The 360-degree aiming is divisive, and the game is forgiving on normal mode with shields and checkpoints, but hardcore mode is available.
