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, story-driven first-person horror where shattered time and psychological dread keep you on edge as you explore a surreal, atmospheric world.

What players say

Players say the game is surprisingly long for an indie title, with several chapters and a detailed story that hooks them. Reviews note it has bugs and some rough mechanics, but the atmosphere, sound design, and value for the price win over most. A few players compared it favorably to the developer's earlier game, Shadow Mansion.
