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 methodically press buttons in a sterile, empty room, each press a deadly gamble that resets you as a new stranger in the same cold space.

What players say

Players call it a short, simple escape room with creative death traps. The sound volume is too low for most, and some find it too easy with little depth, though the tense atmosphere works.
