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 survival horror where you manage scarce resources while navigating a dark basement full of zombies.

What players say

Players say it takes under an hour to beat, with simple key-finding gameplay and dark corridors. Split on the AI: some call it mindless fun, others say enemies follow in a straight line. Jump scares land for many, but several reviewers note bullet-sponge enemies and no story.
