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 ghost-hunting experience where you must stay calm and gather evidence while unpredictable deadly events can end your mission at any moment.

What players say

Players describe it as a cozy horror alternative to Phasmophobia, identifying ghosts through artifacts instead of typical equipment. It is easy to learn and works well in solo or up to four-player co-op, with short rounds and a skill tree. Some note that larger maps feel empty in early access, and a few mention a toxic Discord community.
