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 storytelling journey through dual timelines, blending investigation with unnerving horror and quick-time action.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and story but are divided on the puzzles, some find them a fun challenge while others feel they break the horror by requiring outside help. Frequent criticism targets the unlikeable protagonist and the need to replay the entire game for different endings.
