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 dark and mysterious first-person adventure that feels story-driven with a psychedelic and horror-tinged atmosphere

What players say

Players describe a short first-person horror that can be finished in about an hour, built around atmosphere and jump scares rather than combat. Puzzles are central but reviews are split: some find them enjoyable while others call them wonky. A few note that the game uses Russian voice acting with incomplete English subtitles, and that there is no save system.
