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 are hunted in tight, dimly lit spaces, relying on radio hints and quick wits to evade an relentless, long-imprisoned foe.

What players say

Players describe a free horror game set on a boat where you solve puzzles while a monster chases you, but many find it unfinished. Frequent complaints cover losing all progress on death, glitchy monster movement, poor performance, unclear objectives, and bugs that break the experience. Some enjoy the atmosphere and puzzles enough to recommend it, though most agree it needs more polish and content.
