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 slow, creepy walk through an abandoned asylum where you snap ghost photos and piece together a dark story.

What players say

Players call this a very short horror game where you photograph spirits in an asylum, similar to Fatal Frame. There is almost universal disagreement on scares: some appreciate the lack of jump scares and the atmosphere, while others find it not scary and the monster cute. The final quiz on story details is widely mentioned and seen as a unique touch.
