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, atmospheric survival-horror shooter with deliberate Souls-like combat, set in a dark supernatural realm inspired by African mythology.

What players say

Players praise the rare African mythology setting but agree the game is rough around the edges. The voice acting and repetitive corridor environments draw consistent criticism, while the short 5-hour length and many backtracking puzzles split opinion. Developers responded to feedback by adding invert Y-axis controls.
