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

Exploring a pitch-black world by touch, feeling your way through shifting shadows and uncertain reality.

What players say

Players compare it to Scanner Sombre but say it lacks that game's direction and polish. It is cheap and has an interesting dark echo-location mechanic, though some find it boring and others report motion sickness. A few also encounter a game-breaking bug near the end.
