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, nocturnal journey through a forest turned hostile, driven by a life-or-death delivery.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle-like action where each creature has its own mechanic and the torch must be lit or unlit as needed. The game is short, around two hours, with a moody fantasy story and fair hitboxes.
