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

You explore a dusty attic as a baby, piecing together fragmented memories while a creeping dread builds from the innocent viewpoint.

What players say

Players call it a short horror game split into story sections with note collecting and gameplay sections where you respond to sounds. They say it feels like Five Nights at Freddy's but has its own identity. Players split on the difficulty: early chapters are tense and fun while later ones become frustrating and unfair. A few find it boring or poorly optimized.
