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 must carefully scan your apartment for subtle anomalies while managing limited battery and time, creating a tense, methodical hunt for hidden threats.

What players say

Players describe it as a solid anomaly-spotting horror game where you control a drone camera on rails through a haunted house. The atmosphere gets praise, but opinions split on difficulty: some find the anomalies cleverly subtle, others say the missing baseline and precise cursor make it frustrating.
