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

You watch static-filled camera feeds, hunting for subtle wrongness while a slow dread builds from the mundane turning uncanny.

What players say

Players praise the variety of anomalies and secret endings that keep runs fresh. The game is compared favorably to I'm On Observation Duty, with a simpler point-and-click reporting system. Some wish for post-round feedback on missed anomalies, and a few note the camera distortion filter can be bothersome. The developer is seen as actively supporting the game with updates.
