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 and eerie nightly shift where you sneak through a dark factory solving puzzles while avoiding a giant mannequin's gaze.

What players say

Players describe a short, simple horror game where you complete tasks while a mannequin chases you in the light. Many praise the creepy atmosphere and sound design, though some note it is buggy with easy wall clipping. Sentiment is split on scariness and polish, but most find it fun for the low price.
