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 quiet, unsettling walk through an autumn forest that slowly shifts from peaceful to sinister, relying on atmosphere and narrative tension rather than jump scares.

What players say

Players describe a short puzzle game with multiple ways to solve each puzzle and a story that comes together by the end. Some find it a bit confusing early on and disagree on whether it succeeds at being creepy or just feels boring.
