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 and desperate survival horror where you stealthily explore an abandoned prison while being hunted, with your only hope being to escape and uncover the mystery.

What players say

Players call it a short horror game that takes under an hour, with no combat and stealth as the core mechanic. The atmosphere and voice acting get praise, while reviewers compare it to a budget Outlast. There is disagreement on difficulty: some find it very easy, others find it scary enough to stop playing.
