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 brief, tense walk through a rural home that slowly turns eerie, leaving you alert for unseen watchers.

What players say

A brief walking sim horror that players finish in 30 minutes to an hour. It relies on atmosphere and pig-masked intruders rather than jump scares. Opinions split sharply: some find it boring and forgettable, while others appreciate its unsettling mood and story. Collecting tarot cards to progress through days is the core mechanic.
