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, first-person exploration through a dark and realistic world of supernatural horror and psychological dread.

What players say

Players call it a fun but very short horror game, around 30 minutes to an hour. The need to conserve flashlight batteries adds tension, but many say the battery drains too fast and the game has bugs, including unfair deaths and frame drops. Reviews split on the story, with some calling it cliché and others finding it decent.
