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 short, atmospheric retro-styled interactive experience where clapping to control lights creates tension while you explore an eerily automated 80s house.

What players say

Players say this is a short, free horror game with a tense atmosphere and a memorable clap-based mechanic. Many note that it feels like a sample of other indie horror titles, and while the jump scares are effective, some find the execution goofy.
