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 cold, eerie journey through a silent, post-Soviet town where you search for truth with only a flashlight and cryptic notes.

What players say

A short, linear horror game that players finish in one sitting, often comparing its atmosphere to Silent Hill and praising its authentic Latvian winter setting. However, players are split on the lack of a save system and punishing checkpoints, with some finding the gameplay frustrating and the controls awkward.
