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

You explore a derelict psychiatric hospital with a heavy, unsettling atmosphere, piecing together a sinister history through environmental clues and eerie encounters.

What players say

Players are split on this short psychological horror game. Many praise its tense atmosphere and graphics, but a roughly equal number call it too short (around 15-30 minutes) and too expensive, or report game-breaking bugs that required a full restart. A notable subset of reviews reference the Dicaprio drinking meme or a Russian YouTuber.
