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, atmospheric walk through an empty, sprawling station where the calm routine of passing through is undercut by a quiet sense of wrongness.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to The Exit 8, with some calling it a bad copy lacking atmosphere while others find it a worthy expansion with more content. There is disagreement over AI-generated assets and cheap jumpscares, but most agree the game has many anomalies and humorous Portal-like announcements.
