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 play as a small rat creeping through a dark, suspicious building, hiding from threats and solving puzzles to survive a freezing storm.

What players say

Players enjoy the spooky atmosphere and cute rat protagonist, but most agree it is very short, often finished in under two hours. Many compare it to Little Nightmares. The lighting is a common complaint, with some players finding it too dark to see clearly.
