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 decaying manor in constant dread, with grotesque creatures that can kill you at any moment, demanding tense survival.

What players say

Players describe a huge, maze-like mansion with an oppressive atmosphere that demands memorization, especially on harder difficulties. The game is praised for its exploration but held back by compatibility issues, bugs, and clunky controls. Collecting 12 zodiac keys is a core loop.
