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 tense, methodical investigation where you manage limited power to hunt distinctive ghosts while maintaining your sanity.

What players say

Players describe this as a free ghost-hunting game that blends FNAF and Phasmophobia with a CRT aesthetic. Reviews are split on execution, with some praising the creepy atmosphere and unique concept, while others find the clues unclear and basic controls lacking. The nightmare mode is notoriously difficult.
