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 creep through dark pyramid corridors, scavenging for supplies while hiding from a god that hunts you.

What players say

Players describe a short, free horror game where you are chased by an Egyptian god inside a pyramid. The game has no save system, so death means restarting entirely, and the monster is fast and punishing. Performance complaints exist, and some note there is only one map with no collectibles.
