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 moody metroidvania with ability-gated exploration through a dying computer's mechanical and digital landscapes, where you manipulate power flow and unravel secrets.

What players say

Players praise Visual Out's unique atmosphere and CRT aesthetic, but are divided on its gameplay. Some appreciate its focus on puzzle solving over action, while others find the backtracking tedious and the map confusing. A few call the story pretentious.
