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.

What players say

Players praise the gothic atmosphere, creative time-travel puzzles, and detailed pixel art, but they split on the experience. The weak guidance, lack of manual saves, and stiff controls frustrate many, while the psychological horror and dark character relationships hook those who push through. The demo ends on a twist that leaves people wanting more.
