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.

What players say

Players call this a love letter to classic survival horror, set entirely inside an Egyptian tomb. They praise the oppressive atmosphere, challenging puzzles, and risk/reward combat, but warn about scarce ammo, limited save points, and frequent traps. Reviews split on polish: some say performance and bugs have improved, others describe glitches and poor optimization that hurt the experience.
