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 slink through shadows as a lab-created monster, avoiding relentless guards and the deadly light, driven by a mysterious voice to uncover secrets and escape.

What players say

Players say it is a very short reverse-horror stealth game, finished in under an hour, with no combat and only a teleport ability. Disagreement exists: some love the concept while others find the inability to attack infuriating. Some note it appears to be a student project from DigiPen.
