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 slowly paced, guided horror experience where you solve puzzles while discovering a family mystery during a tense, emotional night.

What players say

Players call it a competent short horror experience that was originally a mobile game, shown in the point-and-click movement. Opinions split on the voice acting, with some praising the story and atmosphere while others find the voice work painfully bad. It is light on jump scares, focusing instead on psychological trauma.
