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

You navigate a twisted, looping airport while evading a threatening entity and piecing together an escape code.

What players say

Players describe a short 'spot the anomaly' horror game where you find hidden numbers in a looping airport while avoiding an entity. It takes around 30 minutes on normal difficulty, with good lighting and a VHS camera mode. Some find the price too high for the amount of content, and the number-hunting can feel tedious.
