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 describe a slow, atmospheric horror-shooter with retro sprite work and modern lighting. Combat is deliberate and punchy but gun variety is narrow. The game's early access state is noticeable, especially in labyrinthine level layouts and some Steam Deck performance problems. Long-time players note the developer improved save points after launch.
