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.

A brief, tense walk through a familiar space that turns sinister, with multiple endings rewarding quick decisions.

What players say

Players say this is an extremely short horror game that can be completed in about two minutes, with three endings and cheap jumpscares. Some see it as a joke or youtuber bait, while others appreciate it as a quick free experience.
