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 solo trek through claustrophobic ancient spaces, viewed through a static camera lens, driven by a desperate search for a missing friend.

What players say

Players say it takes about 30 minutes to finish, with a bad ending reported. The game looks good to some but others call it ugly for an Unreal Engine 5 title. It has an out-of-bounds glitch that skips the game, and the flashlight can crash the game.
