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 relaxed yet tense puzzle game where you carefully scan eerie scenes for subtle differences amid lurking anomalies.

What players say

Players compare this to I'm on Observation Duty, finding it a solid but short anomaly-spotting game with about four hours of content. It is challenging, requiring sharp attention to spot changes in black-and-white scenes, and includes jumpscares. Some note bugs and typos, and a few reviews dismiss it as too simple or low-budget.
