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 surveillance horror where you monitor cameras and make rounds, with periods of quiet dread punctuated by sudden fear, inspired by the unnerving weight of P.T. and FNAF's suspense.

What players say

Players call it a very short FNAF-inspired horror game where you monitor cameras and check alarms in a dark apartment. Many find it boring and repetitive with no story, though some enjoy the jump scares and atmosphere. The game locks itself to nighttime hours, a detail players note.
