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.

What players say

Players are split on this free horror game. Some find it funny and appreciate the developer's personality and effort, while others say it is too dark to see, the story feels disconnected, and the transitions between locations are jarring. Performance issues and a lack of video settings are also noted.
