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 wander through realistically rendered, dimly lit spaces as a lonely protagonist unraveling a personal mystery through slow exploration and environmental storytelling.

What players say

Players call it a short but scary experience built around jump scares. A few mention frustrating platforming and fall damage, and opinions split on whether the scares feel fun or like a boring jumpscare simulator.
