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, minimalist first-person walking simulator where you must identify and shoot men that behave irregularly, with a punishing rule system and a surreal, psychologically charged atmosphere.

What players say

Players call it an Exit 8-like anomaly hunt where you shoot uncles with differences or yourself if all is normal. Reviews note the difficulty spikes from very subtle changes and the surprise story ending. Players warn the horror tag is justified by later chapters with jumpscares, but early parts are mostly a spot-the-difference game.
