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 short, tense prowl through empty memories where shadows stalk your every move and light is the only comfort.

What players say

Players describe a short, claustrophobic horror game with a monster that moves when you do and has unique mechanics. Flashlight management is key, and the game is challenging enough to make some players cry. It's likened to Amnesia.
