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, short anomaly-hunting loop where you carefully scan your surroundings for subtle differences to escape.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, quick anomaly game similar to Exit 8. Some find it too easy with obvious anomalies, while others appreciate the subtle ones. The lack of scary elements and the feature that anomalies don't repeat until fully seen make it well-suited for completionists.
