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

Exploring a creepy mansion with fixed camera angles while managing limited resources creates a tense, methodical survival horror feel.

What players say

Fans of classic Resident Evil games praise its old-school atmosphere, tank controls, and puzzle design, though players split on forced letterboxing and clunky combat. The game is not too hard overall, and its retro graphics are modern rather than pixelated.
