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, story-driven pixel-art horror game that feels like navigating a dark, surreal maze of personal grudges and difficult puzzles.

What players say

Players consistently say the chase scenes are brutally difficult and punishing, forcing trial-and-error runs through long sequences with no mid-chapter save. The story and art are well liked, but the frustrating chases and a cryptic hidden room sour the experience for many.
