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 nostalgic and unsettling first-person exploration of a forgotten retro horror game, slowly revealing its disturbing secrets through atmospheric puzzles and a creeping sense of dread

What players say

Players praise the retro PS1 look and slow-burn Lovecraftian atmosphere, especially early on. But many say the game falls apart halfway with frustratingly obscure objectives, tedious backtracking, and chase sequences that kill the tension.
