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, atmospheric hunt through a mysterious forest where reality and memory blur, driven by a desperate search for a missing daughter.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story and atmospheric Czech forest setting but are split on the gameplay. Many find the walking, herb crafting, and vague puzzles tedious, with some calling it a marathon rather than a horror game. The story has four endings and can take over 15 hours.
