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, claustrophobic horror experience where you're trapped in a malfunctioning lift, searching for a way out while surreal visions blur past and future.

What players say

Players are split on The Lift. Many report game-breaking bugs like black screens and getting stuck, especially on the seventh floor. Those who finish praise the atmosphere and story, but call it very short at around one to two hours. Development appears to have stalled with no updates planned.
