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

Exploring a desolate Antarctic outpost while paranoia builds as you try to uncover secrets and survive a deadly cat-and-mouse game with unpredictable crew members.

What players say

Players call it a short homage to The Thing and Maniac Mansion that takes under an hour and half to finish, but they split on value: some enjoy the retro text-driven choice design while others say it lacks branching, feels under-baked, and has no reason to replay.
