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

Cautiously navigating a dark island, using only a flashlight to freeze creatures while relying on sound to avoid danger.

What players say

Players describe a tense stealth game where you freeze enemies by shining a light on them, but the battery drains fast and recharging is noisy. The minimalist ASCII art style is praised, while controls are called fiddly and a gamepad is considered essential. Players split on difficulty, with some saying even easy mode is challenging.
