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, atmospheric found-footage survival horror where you explore an eerie liminal maze with a camcorder, capturing unsettling events.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and found footage visual style, but nearly everyone agrees the game is very short, with most completing it in 10 to 15 minutes. The two endings are described as anticlimactic, and the slow walking speed frustrates some.
