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, narrative-driven horror experience with PS1-style graphics and a dark immersive atmosphere, simulating the feel of exploring a killer's house through a reporter's perspective.

What players say

Players say it's a short survival horror game with chase sequences and puzzle solving, but the killer's movement in Chapter 1 feels punishing until you learn its pattern. Reviews are split on Chapter 2's ending, with some wishing the game ended sooner. Many find the $5-6 price steep for the runtime and hope future chapters are included.
