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 melancholic and mysterious first-person journey through fragmented memories and a closed boarding school, driven by unraveling a personal enigma.

What players say

Players praise the melancholic atmosphere and exploration of an abandoned boarding school, though the game is short and the default movement feels slow. A demon chase near the end offers a scare, but some find the gameplay tedious with frequent loading screen crashes.
