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 investigative puzzle game where you carefully observe and decide which door to take, building a quiet sense of dread as you ascend each floor.

What players say

Players say this is one of the best in the exit-8-like genre, with a strong unsettling atmosphere and unique anomalies. Camera settings are needed to avoid motion sickness. Opinions are split on some puzzles and progression.
