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 quiet, creeping unease settles over the mundane routines of city life as you uncover the apartment's hidden history through scattered objects and reluctant encounters.

What players say

Players are split on this indie horror. Some praise the atmosphere and sound design, especially in exterior areas, while others criticize the short length, lack of gameplay, and predictable story. Returning players note the developer's games have been getting worse.
