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 short, linear retro-horror stroll through a low-poly carnival where you feel isolated and alert, solving simple puzzles while watching for unseen threats.

What players say

Players praise the game's PS1-style horror aesthetic and note it was made by a sixth grader, which colors their expectations. Most find it rough and buggy but charming and free, while a few call it outright bad. Some mention the lack of jump scares builds suspense, and controller sensitivity is a common complaint.
