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 an abandoned lab, solve puzzles, and flee a lurking creature in a tense point-and-click horror.

What players say

Players are split: some find the monster deaths random and the puzzles trivially repetitive, while others enjoy the creeping atmosphere and sound design.
