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, introspective first-person horror where you piece together cryptic poems in a dimly lit apartment, with choices that blur love and fear.

What players say

Players are split: some praise its atmosphere and scares for the price, while others report broken optimization, no resolution or camera options, and an incomprehensible second level that leaves them dying with no clear objective.
