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, atmospheric exploration of a mysterious house and forest, tinged with a sense of loss and unease.

What players say

Players enjoy the cozy house atmosphere and simple controls, but some find the maze sections unnecessary and wish the horror relied more on atmosphere than showing monsters. The story is seen as needing improvement, though the game leaves a pleasant vibe.
