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 and atmospheric survival horror where limited resources and gruesome enemies keep you constantly on edge.

What players say

Players praise the oppressive atmosphere and creative monster designs, but many struggle with clunky controls, scarce resources, and a confusing story. The PC version is notorious for technical bugs, including flickering and broken frame limits on modern hardware.
