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, unease-filled walking simulator where you're a powerless electrician, and simple lightbulb changes become frightening as darkness hides something predatory.

What players say

Players split on this game. Some enjoy it as a funny, casual horror experience about changing lightbulbs in dark buildings. Others find the constant jumpscares repetitive and say the game runs out of content quickly, with only two levels feeling like the full experience. A common complaint is that the mouse cursor sometimes locks for several seconds after a scare.
