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 creep through a dark room, racing against the clock to find hidden objects while occasional spooky appearances keep you on edge.

What players say

Players are split on Spotter. Some enjoy the first-person hidden-object twist, the flare gun mechanic, and the tension from the countdown timer. Others call it overpriced junk with only two rooms, a poor interface, and no mouse sensitivity setting.
