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 spend long, quiet nights in a nearly empty office building, slowly unraveling unsettling anomalies that turn routine work into a creeping dread.

What players say

Players are split on Overtime Anomaly. Some enjoy its atmosphere and low price, but many criticize poor onboarding, unclear task instructions, and a reporting system too slow to keep up with fast-moving entities. The anomaly variety is thin, and the final day spikes in difficulty with no checkpoints.
