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, slow-burn investigation where quiet dread creeps into everyday life, with a focus on atmosphere and immersion.

What players say

Players describe it as a short walking simulator with jump scares and little gameplay depth. The house layout is reportedly copied from The Survey. Reviews are split, with some praising the atmosphere and story while others complain about glitchy lighting, poor animation, and an unsatisfying ending.
