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

Playing feels like navigating a grainy VHS nightmare where you must solve puzzles and hide from a relentless pursuer in a surreal, haunted dimension.

What players say

Players compare it to Puppet Combo games and classic survival horror, praising the holy water mechanic and clever puzzles. Opinions split on the tank controls and lack of controller support, and some call it too short and easy to softlock without saving.
