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

Eerie, slow-paced swimming through a haunted pool while managing inventory and avoiding threats to complete laps and escape.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and simple but effective gameplay, noting it relies on suspense over jump scares. A few report bugs and performance problems, and one critic says poor design choices undercut the horror.
