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 puzzle-solving survival horror game where you navigate retro-styled horror film scenarios, making careful choices to avoid deadly consequences.

What players say

Players compare it to Lakeview Cabin and praise its creativity and film references. Combat is fun but enemies hit hard, and the game is cryptic with little guidance on what to do next. Controller support is janky, and early optimization was rough, though updates improved loading times.
