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

Exploring an eerie, empty Victorian ship with a darkroom camera to restore vanished spaces and uncover supernatural secrets.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and flashlight mechanic but note the game is very short, around one hour, with no save system. Puzzles can be unintuitive, and the horror relies on tension rather than jump scares.
