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 focused, low-key action-simulation where you monitor museum security cameras from a fixed room at night.

What players say

Players describe an atmospheric anomaly-hunting simulator that can cause genuine anxiety. The dynamic difficulty system adjusts to how fast you spot anomalies, which some find enjoyable and others find frustrating. Performance issues are noted, and completions run around seven to eight hours.
