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

Creeping through shadow-drenched medieval corridors, you rely on patience and sound to avoid lethal confrontation while lifting valuables and unravelling a conspiracy of betrayal.

What players say

Players praise the unparalleled atmosphere, level design, and emergent gameplay, but warn the controls feel dated and some may need a community patch. A small number of players find the game too frustrating or janky to enjoy today.
