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, hide-and-seek horror game where you must stay silent and navigate shadows to survive a relentless entity.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and sound design, but note the gameplay is a simple fetch-quest loop of avoiding a monster in dark hallways. The story addresses addiction and is considered effectively disturbing, though controls are clunky and the difficulty can be punishing.
