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 sneak through a dark, spooky crime scene at night, piecing together clues as an investigative reporter, with an uneasy tension that grows as the tragedy unfolds.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and well-timed jump scares, but many note the game is short and has lots of backtracking with a slow walking speed. The camera mechanic that reveals past events is a highlight, though environments are sparse and puzzles can be confusing.
