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

Navigating vast, eerily empty liminal spaces through a grainy VHS lens, always wary of unseen threats lurking in the gloom.

What players say

Players are split on this backrooms game: some praise its eerie atmosphere and minimal entity design, while others criticize blurry visuals, repetitive rooms, motion sickness from head bob, and a very short runtime with only one chase scene at the end. Many note the menus are unreadably blurry.
