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, atmospheric horror game with tank controls that emphasizes slow exploration and puzzle-solving over combat.

What players say

Players praise the eerie atmosphere and Mexican folklore-inspired story, noting strong Silent Hill vibes. The lack of combat makes evasion key, and the tank controls with fixed camera split opinion. It runs perfectly on Steam Deck.
