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 lonely, trance-like first-person puzzle game with a dark, psychological horror feel as disturbing drawings and a menacing figure grow closer.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the atmosphere, puzzles and scares, while many more say the game is unplayable due to poor mouse controls, no settings for sensitivity or FOV, and no controller support.
