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

Navigating a twisted, beautifully hand-drawn environment with a creeping sense of dread as you piece together a young woman's forgotten identity through puzzles and exploration.

What players say

Players praise this short, atmospheric point-and-click horror game for its unsettling Event Horizon-inspired sci-fi story and striking Yu-Gi-Oh-style art. Many are returning to a freeware classic they played as kids, and they note it is still unnerving despite its simple puzzles and roughly two-hour runtime.
