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 text-driven auditory experience that feels unsettling and oppressive, like navigating a nightmare.

What players say

Players describe a text-heavy horror game that relies on writing and sound to build an uneasy, dream-like atmosphere. The puzzles are satisfying but cryptic enough that some suggest a guide, and the main character and setting are praised as deeply creative. Its free price tag is noted as remarkable.
