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.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and exploration, calling it a solid indie horror with decent length and graphics for its price. Opinions split sharply on the save system: auto-save only at chapter ends makes deaths punishing, and some call it unacceptable, while the developer considers checkpoints too easy. Minor bugs and a slow start are common complaints.
