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 frantic, claustrophobic fight for survival against classic horror enemies in a sprawling, nightmarish manor.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, polished survival horror love letter to early Resident Evil games, now in first person. The atmosphere and weapon feel get praised, while some say it is too short and a few find it boring.
