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 puzzle-platformer where a boy and his silent companion creep through a dark, decaying city, solving environmental puzzles and evading grotesque horrors together.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and unsettling enemy designs, especially the Teacher. The story is told without dialogue, and the ending is a frequent topic. Some note the partner AI is helpful, while a few mention minor technical issues or clunky movement.
