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, old-school survival horror game where fixed cameras and scarce resources force you to carefully navigate, solve puzzles, and often flee rather than fight.

What players say

Players split on this indie survival horror inspired by Resident Evil. Some enjoy its atmosphere, puzzles, and retro feel, while others are frustrated by janky controls, no controller support, unavoidable boss attacks, and a difficulty that resets to an easier setting after saving.
