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 first-person stealth horror game where you sneak through a dark house, avoiding a maniac while solving puzzles to escape.

What players say

Players describe a short stealth-puzzle horror game with a creepy atmosphere and no combat. Reviews are split on difficulty, with some calling the first chapter hard and others saying it does not ramp up. Some note the game has been in early access for years with little added.
