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 first-person exploration of a shifting, eerie house that feels alive and menacing.

What players say

Players compare it to Visage for its psychological horror and house exploration, but opinions split on pacing. Some find it a well-made slow burn with fair puzzles and strong atmosphere, while others say it never picks up and leans too much on aimless wandering. Completion takes about 2 hours.
