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, pixelated souls-like where you explore a ruined facility and face hostile eldritch horrors.

What players say

Players are split on whether the game deserves the soulslike tag: some call it a punishing survival horror with stat-check fights and respawning enemies, while others find it lacking the souls atmosphere. The art and SCP lore are praised, but combat is described as hard and straightforward, and the game is seen as promising but unfinished.
