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 slow, atmospheric first-person investigation through a haunted house, piecing together a tragic past while feeling an underlying dread.

What players say

Players describe it as a rough indie horror with an unsettling atmosphere and plenty of jumpscares and puzzles. Most praise its eerie mood and recommend it, but one reviewer notes mouse input lag, and it runs on Unity.
