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 short, tense found-footage exploration where you cautiously document an abandoned house, guided by foreboding sound design and a creeping sense of dread.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, camera mechanic, and PT-like tension, though some say the basement goes on too long and the jump scares lose impact once you realize you cannot die. A subset of players criticize the use of AI-generated images without disclosure, while others find the graphics impressive.
