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 observational walking simulator where you must memorize a default setup, spot subtle anomalies under pressure, and restart from scratch if you make a mistake.

What players say

Players describe it as a spot-the-anomaly game with a simple loop and a spooky atmosphere. Many mention you can pet a cat, and some note the voice acting and cheap price. A few say the trailer shows the best anomalies and the game can be boring in stretches.
