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 first-person horror where exploration and investigation of a dark, supernatural mystery drive the experience.

What players say

Reviews praise the cheap price and solid jumpscares, but note a slow start, emotionless voice acting, and a short length of about 3 hours. Players are split on the story quality, with some calling the first story strong and the later ones weaker.
