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 tense, atmospheric first-person survival horror where you navigate dark corridors using a LiDAR gun to reveal your path and a radar scanner to avoid unseen enemies, progressing through increasingly challenging stealth-based levels.

What players say

Players enjoy the core concept of lighting a dark path while evading enemies, but note the early access state means limited content and repetitive level walls rather than varied environments. It is a short, hard game, one reviewer calls it the hardest they have played.
