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

You navigate creepy hospital corridors, making split-second decisions based on whether anomalies appear, while evading lurking monsters.

What players say

Players recognize this as another entry in the anomaly-spotting genre made famous by The Exit 8, set in a hospital. They praise the ambitious anomalies and spooky atmosphere, but nearly everyone notes bugs and an unstable build, and replay value is hurt by a short length of around one hour.
