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 nerve-wracking game of hide-and-seek in the dark, where you must evade a relentless monster that stalks you through an abandoned environment.

What players say

Players say the game is short with three maps and a simple hide-and-seek loop. There is a consensus that a stamina mechanic from the mobile port feels punishing. A single reviewer warns that the monster can spawn near the car and cause instant deaths.
