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 quick, colorful arcade runner with retro pixel graphics and procedurally generated mazes, where you dash to collect data and avoid enemies in short, replayable bursts.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun, addictive arcade-style maze runner with a cute protagonist and a satisfying unlock system. Many appreciate the nostalgic feel and quick-burst gameplay, though some note the scrolling can be jarring.
