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 short, atmospheric point-and-click horror where you explore an abandoned park alone, solving puzzles to survive and escape.

What players say

Players call this a short, free horror point-and-click that takes under an hour. The puzzles are intuitive and the atmosphere is creepy, but there's almost no challenge. It is not the 1995 game Shivers.
