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

You explore a shifting, eerie hotel with a mix of strategy and tension, gathering resources while bracing for unpredictable monster encounters.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, music, and horror theme, but opinions split on the grind: some love the variety of builds and replayability, while others find the early game barebones and the unlock process hellishly slow. Enemy variety draws complaints for relying on palette swaps.
