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, atmospheric first-person psychological horror where you explore empty, creepy environments and solve puzzles as you uncover the mystery behind a nightmare.

What players say

Players report a broken early access game that has seen little development since 2021. The walk speed is painfully slow, puzzles are buggy or impossible to complete, and performance is poor even on high-end hardware. Despite some finding it genuinely scary, the overwhelming sentiment is that it is an unfinished asset flip with no clear progression.
