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, silent scavenger hunt through a decaying labyrinth where every flickering light and creaking panel signals an unseen predator watching from the shadows.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, tense horror game where you sneak through a moon base to escape. The monster AI is a common complaint, with reports of it camping or circling the player for long stretches. Several call it a simpler version of Alien: Isolation or a sibling to Monstrum.
