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 slow, atmospheric walking simulator that uses foreboding environments and unraveling narrative to build a sense of dread.

What players say

Players praise the tension-building sound design and effective jump scares, though some find them repetitive. Opinions split on the story's abrupt ending, but most agree the game is a short, atmospheric walking simulator best played in VR.
