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, methodical first-person exploration through a grim conspiracy, where piecing together clues and solving puzzles feels like uncovering a dark secret.

What players say

Players praise the unique blend of anomaly-spotting and survival threats, creating tense, satisfying gameplay. Difficulty is high, with some feeling punishment for mistakes is too harsh. Opinions split on whether threats make the game exciting or unfair. Active updates are noted.
