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

You explore dark, atmospheric environments in first-person, using a camera to fight ghostly enemies and solve puzzles.

What players say

Players describe it as a cheap, short Fatal Frame homage with camera-based ghost fighting. Its spooky sound design and jump scares stand out, but the game is janky, linear, and ends abruptly.
