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 cute animal world turns unsettling as you explore, solve puzzles, and sneak through a dark and atmospheric horror adventure.

What players say

A short 2D horror adventure set in a world where animals keep humans as pets, praised for its unsettling contrast of cute art and gore. Players note simple puzzles and stealth, but split on the clunky controls and harsh death penalty that wipes your inventory. The story is a single path with no branching endings.
