I also don't recognize the company but it's a nice little Pac-Man clone. One technical way that it seems to differ it looks like you store a 1-move buffer. So if I am moving upward and press right, then when I get to the first potential right tunnel I move into it.

Who are "we", and why this game in particular?

We build tools (commercial: https://canary.tools) and free (https://canarytokens.org | https://opencanary.org) that help slowdown/detect attackers.

It supports normal(ish) pacman-like activity, except some of the dots you consume might be canaries, which will slow you down/likely lead to you being detected/caught.
