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 frantic, claustrophobic rush to escape or fight through suffocating environments.

What players say

Players praise the psychological horror and family drama, but say the scares rely more on tension than jump scares. Some note rough graphics and minor bugs, and one reviewer hit a game-breaking glitch in chapter 3. Reviews split on the story being compelling versus not scary enough.
