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

Watching 5 static CCTV feeds in a dark room, waiting for any tiny change that might signal danger.

What players say

Players describe it as a physical hidden object game where you spot anomalies across five cameras while managing lights and coffee. The patterns are simple but learning what counts as an anomaly can be confusing at first, and some find it scary for a horror game.
