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 its classic survival horror feel with fixed cameras and tank controls, evoking Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Many note the nostalgic PS2-era aesthetics, but frustration centers on camera lag when transitioning scenes and the lack of a brightness option on Steam Deck.
