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, desperate struggle through a nightmarish city where you must scavenge makeshift weapons to survive against psychotic enemies and a gruesome serial killer.

What players say

Players describe it as a short Condemned-inspired horror game with funny dialogue and a twist ending, but combat is clunky and inconsistent, and the repetitive drone music grates. Reviews split on value given the 30-minute runtime.
