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, dark first-person exploration game where you navigate a nightmare town using an EMF reader to find crosses while avoiding anatomic horrors, with an optional wave-based action mode.

What players say

Players praise the simple voxel art and unsettling sound design, but opinions split on quality. Some find it a challenging horror experience with satisfying skill progression, while others call it underwhelming with repetitive item-fetching and enemies that are more annoying than scary.
