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 atmospheric first-person stealth experience where each run feels unpredictable and deadly, with psychological horror lurking in procedurally generated nightmares.

What players say

Players praise the randomized maps and multiple exit goals for high replayability, but note heavy reliance on luck, especially with enemy sound cues being confusing. The difficulty is high, and some find the game overly punishing in hard mode.
