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 short, atmospheric walking simulator where you explore a dense, claustrophobic city steeped in mystery and subdued horror.

What players say

Players say the game captures a tense atmosphere and has effective jump scares, but the story is thin and the experience is very short, around 30 to 50 minutes. Many recommend buying it on sale. The narrow field of view and finicky interaction prompts are common complaints. Some find the scares grow less effective after the first few.
