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 navigate a mundane student apartment that slowly twists into a quiet, unnerving mystery where ordinary life meets inexplicable dread.

What players say

Players finish the game in under an hour, often in 30 minutes, and call it a quick experience with several endings. They are split on whether it is scary, some find it not creepy at all while others say it is terrifying. The story is described as basic, with a twist that some enjoy, but the short length and occasional frustration with invisible crosshairs or chase timing hold it back.
