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 slowly explore a dark, abandoned mansion, solving puzzles and uncovering disturbing secrets while feeling a growing sense of dread and disorientation.

What players say

Players say this short horror game is broken and abandoned, with a save bug that can halt progress and a game that still doesn't launch for some. The few who can play find it a tedious walking simulator with overly long backtracking and puzzles that feel unfair.
