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 third-person survival horror where you navigate a corpse-filled school, solve escape-room puzzles, and evade relentless pursuers in a deeply disturbing nightmare.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric school setting and puzzle design, but warn that the lack of hints and broken hiding system often leads to frustration. Disagreement exists over difficulty, with some finding puzzles rewarding and others calling them too vague. The game is short, with multiple endings, though bugs and clumsy enemy behavior are noted.
