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.

A tense and darkly atmospheric first-person survival horror experience set in World War I, blending stealth and puzzle elements with disturbing psychological horror.

What players say

Players are split on this WW1-themed horror game. Most call it a short, repetitive maze game heavy on programmed jumpscares, comparing it to Slenderman. Some enjoy the tension from microphone detection and atmosphere, while others find it cheap and unpolished with crashes and immersion-breaking details.
