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 playful, light-hearted survival game where you protect your home from mischievous monsters in a tense but not truly frightening night-time setting.

What players say

Players praise the tense horror that relies on sound to catch shadow goblins hiding around corners. They say it is a challenging micromanagement game that keeps you on edge but agree the survival mode does not work. Players split on whether it is more nerve-wracking or terrifying.
