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, minimalist pixel-art walking simulator where you cautiously navigate a shrine at night, retreating at any sign of the unusual.

What players say

Players describe this as a 2D Exit 8 clone with a cute art style and jump scares. The game is short, around 30 minutes to an hour, but some anomalies are very hard to spot and anomaly spawns are random, sometimes repeating the same one or not appearing at all. There is no story or achievements.
