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, first-person escape through a rotting basement against a creature, with a pounding heartbeat and heated music on each of three limited attempts.

What players say

Players are split on this horror game. Some find it genuinely scary and addictive, while others call it an amateurish asset flip with bugs and a short runtime. A recurring complaint is the consumable torch system and loud, unadjustable audio.
