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 gentle introduction to horror that feels gloomy and uneasy but manages to avoid being truly frightening.

What players say

Players describe this as a light horror exploration game with an eating mechanic where you raise your stomach level to access new areas. The scares are mild, with few jump scares and enemies that lose interest quickly. Reviews note the game is short, around two to three hours, and full of food-related trivia text, though some find the pacing slow and the balloon jumpscares annoying.
