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.

What players say

Players describe AMaze DOS as a short, easy puzzle game with procedurally generated mazes that can be cleared in under ten minutes. It has a deliberately retro, minimalist style, but controls feel clunky and the sound effects can grate. Most agree it is only worth the sale price of one dollar, not the full eleven.
