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 observe paranormal activity from a safe room, analyzing ghost behavior with a methodical, point-and-click investigation that feels tense but accessible.

What players say

Players say this blends Phasmophobia evidence-gathering with Observation Duty camera watching, set on three maps. Many find it tedious and lacking scares, though the developer quickly fixed reported issues. Players are split on whether the foundation is solid enough to recommend now or if it needs more content first.
