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 and eerie first-person exploration through looping corridors, where you build a deck by photographing strange objects to survive.

What players say

Players praise the unique blend of deck-building, horror, and deduction, but warn that the steep learning curve and long runs without saving may frustrate. The story remains unfinished, with development stalled since 2023, leaving achievements unattainable and a promised game mode unavailable.
