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, immersive dive into a disturbed mind, where you piece together fragmented memories while feeling constantly exposed and uneasy.

What players say

Players praise the oppressive sci-fi horror atmosphere and the unique cohesion mechanic that ties narrative to survival. The game is a slow-burn puzzler that avoids jump scares, but some find the puzzles tedious and the story cryptic. Players are split on the ending: early versions ended on a cliffhanger, while later ones added multiple endings. Bugs and janky design frustrate a minority.
