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 slow-burn exploration of a distorted reality where familiar spaces become alien and tension builds through stealth and survival.

What players say

Players describe a short, trippy walking simulator that leans on psychological unease rather than jump scares. An adjustable difficulty system lets players skip tough sections, though the maze frustrated some. A few early bugs are noted, but the developer is praised for being responsive.
