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, first-person survival horror where you navigate grid-based dungeons with limited resources, dodging relentless masked enemies while solving puzzles.

What players say

Players praise this as a short (around 10 hours), well-crafted dungeon crawler with tight grid-based movement and real-time combat where you aim at enemy weak spots. Some find it too easy and lacking challenge, while others appreciate the puzzles and atmosphere. Comparisons to Legend of Grimrock are common, noting more dynamic camera and aiming.
