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

You wake trapped in a pitch-black cellar with only a blinking VHS camera and a whispering stain, slowly piecing together the horror through a journal that reads your thoughts aloud.

What players say

A short found footage horror game with escape-room puzzles and a voice in the wall asking for a hand. Players like the atmosphere and lack of cheap jumpscares but some find the monster chase frustrating and item-hunting poorly guided.
