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

You sit alone in a dim security room, managing cameras and doors while unsettling creatures try to reach you during the night.

What players say

Players are split on this FNaF-inspired game. Some call it life-changing and a passion project, while others say it is a boring, slow FNaF rip-off with reused sounds, no risk mechanics, and little content between nights 3 and 5. The ending is a short audio on night 6, and many note the game was built in Scratch or Unity.
