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 cooperative experience where two players unravel a dark mystery by solving puzzles in separated environments.

What players say

Players say it is a short co-op puzzle game that works better as a virtual escape room than a horror game. The puzzles are fine but the story is weak, the horror is mild, and there is no chapter select. Optimization and motion sickness are common complaints.
