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 slow, methodical spot-the-difference game where you scan creepy pixel environments for eerie changes while using ghost-hunting gadgets.

What players say

Players describe it as an anomaly spotting game in the vein of I'm on Observation Duty, but with pixel art. It has multiple difficulty modes and upgradable items that give replay value. Some players wish for a tutorial, finding the menu-driven anomaly reporting clunky.
