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, first-person walk through a disturbed mind where hallucinations blur reality and every decision weighs heavy on unraveling a grim fate.

What players say

Players praise the story and schizophrenia theme, with multiple endings that twist the narrative. The puzzles are straightforward and not too hard. However, many note the game is too dark even after adjusting brightness, and a few point out bugs like invisible walls that block progress. A minority mention motion sickness from the protagonist's movement.
