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 tense and suspenseful game where you hide from a parental figure while sneaking in late-night gaming sessions, blending childhood nostalgia with quiet dread.

What players say

Players praise the creative premise of playing retro games while hiding from Mom, but nearly everyone says it is very short, finishing in about an hour. Many find the multitasking surprisingly challenging, and a few report bugs where Mom catches them unfairly.
