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, atmospheric exploration of an abandoned house, driven by quiet curiosity and a faint sense of unease as you search for hidden objects.

What players say

Players describe a short horror scavenger loop where you collect items before your battery dies, but many find it repetitive after a few runs and the screen-blur effect during threat encounters too intrusive to enjoy.
