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 frantic, ever-shifting nightmare where the world literally falls away beneath you, forcing constant movement and desperate escapes.

What players say

Players say the game is very short and repetitive, with low replayability. Some enjoy the marker drawing mechanic, but others find the gameplay simple, not scary, and buggy. Most agree the 99 cent price is fair.
