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, first-person exploration through a grim, pixelated town where you slowly uncover disturbing secrets while questioning your own sanity.

What players say

Players are divided on the game's unusual reverse fisheye camera: some find it disorienting to the point of motion sickness, while others say it adds to the oppressive atmosphere once you adjust. Beyond that, it's a short, atmospheric horror game with a sci-fi twist and good visual detail.
