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 survival horror with realistic settings and Lovecraftian overtones, driven by investigation and puzzle solving in a cursed apartment.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere but are split on the lack of saves and checkpoints. Some find it essential to the horror, while others quit in frustration. The monster can spawn unpredictably and block doorways, causing unfair deaths. Puzzles are item retrieval with no randomization, making repetition tedious.
