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 crawl through darkened corridors and overgrown ruins, clutching a camcorder as dinosaurs stalk you in a tense found-footage horror chase.

What players say

Players praise the VHS-style camera and dinosaur models, but note jumpscares rely on loud noise and performance can be poor outside the bunker. The story is interesting yet short, and players split on whether the gameplay is engaging or gets dull.
