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, moody first-person exploration through a shadowy house, uncovering a tragic story through found clues and ambient silence.

What players say

Players praise the emotional, sad story and creepy atmosphere without jumpscares, but many complain about inconsistent English voice acting that breaks immersion. Performance on lower-end PCs is a problem, and players note the game is short with simple puzzles.
