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 crawl through tight, dark tunnels in a constant state of vigilance, carefully planning every move to survive.

What players say

Players praise its tense, claustrophobic atmosphere and the need to draw your own map by hand. The tutorial feels forgiving, but the game quickly becomes challenging, requiring careful resource management of items like food and sleep. Some players wish there were more endings or variety in scares.
