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 quiet, artful exploration where tension builds from stillness and the feeling of being watched rather than overt scares.

What players say

Players praise the unpredictable, unsettling atmosphere and massive backrooms-style levels, especially pool labyrinths and a demonic section. The game takes about an hour to complete. Some warn it has minimal instructions and a linear layout, and a few find the graphics disappointingly simple. Opinions split on whether the price is worth it.
