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 first-person puzzle game that feels like a methodical, tense scavenger hunt through procedurally generated mines, where each step requires careful thought.

What players say

Players say it is a straightforward 3D version of Minesweeper with first-person exploration. Some praise the logic puzzle and decent graphics, while others find the gameplay repetitive over its 60 levels and mention clunky controls, performance drops, and buggy input detection.
