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

You explore dreary, hand-drawn nightmare worlds, hiding and running from terrifying apparitions in a tense, slow-paced struggle against inner demons.

What players say

Players praise the monochrome hand-drawn art and atmospheric soundtrack, calling it a short walking simulator with puzzle elements. The protagonist is deliberately slow and tires easily, which some find frustrating but others see as fitting the nightmare logic. The game has three different endings that require specific choices or actions.
