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, isolating first-person walk through empty spaces where ambient sound and subtle dialogue blur reality with nightmare.

What players say

Players praise the game's atmosphere and scares but are split on its shortcomings: some call it a refreshing horror experience while others find it frustrating with no direction, a slow character, and a blurry screen at the start. It is very short, around 30 to 60 minutes, and priced accordingly.
