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 first-person psychological horror focused on tense exploration and a deeply immersive, downbeat story.

What players say

Players are sharply divided: some call it a scam with fake reviews and only 15 minutes of content, while others enjoy the psychological horror and atmosphere as an early access title. Long-term players say development stalled at version 0.12 after three years.
