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 and absurd babysitting simulator where you juggle mundane tasks while the baby's creepy antics and Lovecraftian undertones create an unsettling yet funny atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the mix of goofy humor and creepy horror, with unpredictable moments that shift from tossing the baby in an oven to intense chase sequences. The puzzles are tricky but fair, and many reviewers note the short completion time and eager anticipation for the final act. Controls are simple, and the game is considered well worth its price.
