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

Trudging through an abandoned mall on Christmas Eve, balancing holiday cheer against zombie threats while making choices that steer the story.

What players say

Players describe it as a gamebook-style visual novel with dice rolls that can be overridden, offering seven endings and a short playtime around an hour. They are split on the voice acting: some find the developers' own recordings charming and authentic, while others call them poorly delivered and distracting.
