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

You explore a dark tomb at night, solving puzzles and dodging traps while searching for treasure in a modestly paced, old-school adventure.

What players say

Players praise the egyptian atmosphere and free price, but many are frustrated by the lack of checkpoints or saves, forcing restarts from the level start on death. The game reminds some of old Tomb Raider, though controls and camera feel clunky and performance dips on lower-end hardware.
