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 short, retro-styled survival horror game where you navigate a dark school at night with fixed cameras and tank controls, evoking the tense, crunchy feel of 32-bit era horror.

What players say

Players call this a short, budget-priced horror game that faithfully recreates a PS1 Silent Hill feel, especially through its fixed camera angles, tank controls and gritty visuals. Reviews split on scares: some find it tense with good atmosphere, others grow annoyed. The lack of saving never becomes an issue given the short runtime. Unlockable costumes and a harder difficulty add replay value.
