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, hide-and-seek experience where you creep through a house avoiding a dangerous robber, relying on stealth and environmental clues.

What players say

Players say it feels more like a short demo than a full game, with no visible killer and sound cues that make it hard to tell where the threat is. You can beat it in 15 minutes by hiding and charging your phone, though bugs like getting stuck in closets are common.
