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 first-person horror trek through a procedurally haunted school where eerie whispers and dark entities make every corridor feel threatening.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy the scary jumpscares and the multiple escape routes, while others find the school too large, the tasks unclear, and the lack of a hiding mechanic frustrating when stamina runs out. A few also report mouse control bugs.
