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, minimalist walking simulator where you navigate an eerily quiet shopping district, following simple rules while mild horror elements and repetition create a surreal, unsettling loop.

What players say

Players say it is a challenging anomaly-finding game set in a quiet night shopping street, with little horror and no jumpscares. The difficulty is above average, especially for the post-game complete-anomaly list, but anomalies are fair. Some wish for more variety in the anomalies and find the transition fog breaks immersion.
