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 descend a seemingly endless stairwell in the dark, guided only by a torch and the recorded voices of those lost before you, creating a tense, lonely atmosphere of slow dread and mystery.

What players say

Players find the game very short, around 2-3 hours, and report frequent bugs from release including broken mouse controls and softlocks that require restarts. Horror elements get mixed reactions: some like scripted scares and stair sequences, but many say the AI is predictable and not intimidating after the first encounter.
