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.

What players say

Players find Overhead a very short horror walking simulator set in an abandoned bunker, finishing in about an hour. The movement feels sluggish and the scares are mostly absent, with only a single reported jumpscare. A save-breaking bug on the second elevator forces a single-sitting playthrough, and the large map feels empty.
