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 tense and fast-paced maze survival game where you must navigate labyrinthine levels while avoiding or fighting armed pursuers.

What players say

Players describe a buggy game with a black screen on the menu that still unlocks achievements. Those who can play find a maze game where a bear heals with vodka and hops fences, lacking the gunplay of other bear games from the same developer.
