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 frantically search a darkened room for clues and keys while an unseen outsider threatens to arrive at any moment.

What players say

Players say the game is essentially a single-room demo that can be finished in under 15 minutes, making the price hard to justify. Reviewers note the atmosphere works but the one puzzle is too simple and the jumpscares repeat the same face-latching trick.
