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

Exploration of a surreal, empty space that feels both eerie and oddly whimsical as you piece together its strange story.

What players say

Players describe a quiet, atmospheric take on the Backrooms concept that focuses on exploration and puzzles over constant threats or jump scares. Some find the second chapter too difficult, and a few report performance bugs like the game freezing.
