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 night of hacking and evading murderers in a first-person immersive sim.

What players say

Players compare it to Welcome to the Game and say it is a competent but uninspired clone of that game, though some find it more fair and appreciate the need to read websites. A common annoyance is the camera jumpscare triggering too often. Several reviewers mention occasional bugs with site links not spawning, forcing restarts.
