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

You navigate a dark, foggy forest with only a dim flashlight, searching for pages while evading an unseen threat.

What players say

Players see this as a short, cheap Slender homage with a cute twist: collect cat photos instead of pages. The realistic graphics and TV-headed monsters impress, but performance issues and a severe head bob that makes some feel sick hold it back. Players are split on whether the game has potential the developer will never fulfill.
