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 tense cooperative horror exploration where the unsettling atmosphere and proximity chat create an immersive, stealthy search for truth in a dark yet questionably peaceful world.

What players say

Players say the monster is overpowered and cannot be escaped, with a two-hit death system that makes even easy mode frustrating. The goal is to find ten randomly-placed documents and leave, but many consider it impossible. Reviews note the developer recycles the same monster-and-fetch gameplay across different levels and calls them separate games.
