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 first-person survival horror where navigating liminal, surreal spaces feels tense and uneasy, with realistic perspective and constant threat from lurking entities.

What players say

The game is extremely short, taking under 10 minutes to complete, and players report it feels unfinished with missing textures, gliding enemies, and a broken garage AI. Reviews are mixed: some enjoy the atmosphere and graphics, while others call it linear and rushed.
