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, claustrophobic crawl through dark caves where the only tools are a headlamp and your wits.

What players say

Players say the game is unfinished and extremely short, taking under ten minutes. There is only one cave story available despite promises of more, and a single path forward ends in a loud jump scare. The atmosphere is fine but the scares are limited.
