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, oppressive crawl through an endless, foggy maze where every scarce camera flash buys a moment of hope before the unseen horror closes in.

What players say

Players praise the tension from limited film and a creepy, no-jumpscare atmosphere, but the creature's behavior can be inconsistent and some encountered a game-breaking server error after dying.
