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 navigate an eerie, realistic house, piecing together a dark story through diaries and managing limited resources to outwit a cursed presence.

What players say

Players describe a very short first-person horror game with permanent death and no checkpoints, forcing full restarts on death. Some call it an asset flip with cheap jumpscares, while others see potential if it were extended with puzzles. A fuse item bug is also reported.
