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, atmospheric adventure where every choice matters as you unravel dark secrets in a retro pixel-art fairy-tale world.

What players say

Players come from Yuppie Psycho and find a shorter, slower, more fairy-tale-like horror. They praise the atmosphere and story but warn about a fullscreen flashback bug that makes the game unplayable without a fix. The slow walking and limited saves frustrate some, while others enjoy the tense exploration.
