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 slow, tense game of observation in a haunted mansion where you must stay calm and spot differences while a ghost tries to unnerve you.

What players say

Players describe it as a spot-the-difference horror game where you watch security cameras and report changes in a haunted house. Many compare it to I'm On Observation Duty but with more tension. Some find the anomalies too subtle or the no-fix-needed message too slow, and several wish for more content or updates.
