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.

You explore a cursed mansion with shifting corridors, hunted by an unstoppable presence, relying on stealth and hiding to survive.

What players say

Players are split. Some praise the atmosphere and jump scares, but many others report severe performance issues like memory leaks and single-digit FPS even on high-end hardware, repetitive fetch-quest objectives, and an unfinished or abandoned feel.
