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, dark journey through a surreal nightmare where beauty masks corruption and exploration is driven by psychological dread.

What players say

Players praise Silent Sonata for its original premise, strong music by a developer who is a musician, and creepy atmosphere with minimal cheap jump scares. They note janky controls, framerate issues, and bugs at launch, but the developer is actively updating. It is a short game that can be finished in one sitting, with an open-ended ending that invites interpretation.
