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 slow, dreamlike first-person exploration of memory and trauma where the act of falling asleep becomes a tense, surreal journey through fractured recollections.

What players say

Players praise the unique two-phase horror of trying to fall asleep and then dreaming, but many are frustrated that development stalled in early access after four nights, with no updates for nearly a year and night five unfinished.
