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

Each episode unfolds like a short, unsettling story rooted in everyday fears, focusing on psychological tension rather than jump scares.

What players say

Players praise the Soviet setting and creepy atmosphere but note the game is very short, often around 30 minutes to an hour. Reviews are split on the story, with some finding it predictable and others enjoying the prologue and cinematic ending. Complaints include optimization stutters, a loud soundtrack that can't be adjusted, and basic stealth mechanics.
