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 slow-burn, dialogue-heavy sci-fi horror puzzle game where you explore a retro-futuristic research facility, unraveling a dark mystery through cryptic clues and eerie atmosphere.

What players say

Players are split on this compact sci-fi horror adventure. Some praise its intriguing mystery and atmosphere, others call it an unfinished RPG Maker asset flip with unclear interaction prompts and a save system limited to one room, and many note the story is incomplete in early access.
