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

An adrenaline-fuelled arcade rampage as a giant space worm eats everything in sight, with frantic movement and a spooky chiptune soundtrack.

What players say

Players describe WORMHOLE as a polished, fast-paced take on Snake with roguelike elements, praising its tight controls and punchy sound design. The community is small but passionate, with many calling it criminally underrated and urging more people to try it. Runs can end quickly from a few mistakes, but the responsive movement keeps gameplay fair.
