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 quiet, unsettling journey through a mysterious and contemplative narrative.

What players say

Players praise the artsy horror and SCP-inspired setting, with creative enemy designs like the infamous rocking horse. The challenge leans on memorizing paths while avoiding enemies, which some find frustratingly trial‑and‑error. A strong soundtrack and voice acting by known talent are frequently mentioned.
