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 experience where you manage resources on a handheld game to defend against a supernatural threat creeping into your reality.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to Five Nights at Freddy's, praising the story and lore. However, many report frustrating input lag and a lack of controller or touchscreen support, with some calling the game janky on higher difficulties.
