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 explore a dated computer interface, solving text puzzles and reading files, while a growing sense of unseen presence keeps the atmosphere tense and cryptic.

What players say

Players call it a short horror puzzle game that combines flashing a monster with computer-based puzzles, similar to FNAF or Welcome to the Game. They often praise the 90s aesthetic but report game-breaking bugs on death, random sensitivity changes, and a lack of music. Some find the monster goofy and the gameplay monotonous after a while.
