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, third-person survival horror experience weaving American urban legends into a gritty, emotionally charged story.

What players say

Players finish in under 2 hours and note it feels like a low-budget tribute to Supernatural. The boss fights are a highlight, but the last boss spikes in difficulty (no respawn, homing orbs). Voice acting is divisive, some find it charmingly Russian, others unlistenable. Bugs and rough gunplay come with the indie territory, and many bought it mostly for a cosmetic shop item.
