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 short, tense walking simulator where you explore a quiet, surreal spa, searching for a hidden fifth door while feeling claustrophobic and uneasy.

What players say

Players enjoy the anomaly-finding gameplay where each room hides one difference that reveals the correct door. The game offers three difficulty modes and a short run of about two hours, with some puzzles that can surprise or damage the player. A few players wish the single-room premise had more variety.
