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 claustrophobic and anxiety-laden psychological horror experience where you navigate unsettling environments as a pregnant woman, driven by a desperate mission to save your baby's soul.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Some call it a tense, atmospheric retro horror with an interesting premise, while others say it is a poorly made, 20-minute game with heavy AI-generated assets, clunky design, and only a few jumpscares.
