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 slow, atmospheric exploration through an eerie manor, driven by narration and the gradual unraveling of a family's dark history.

What players say

Players are split on this haunted mansion exploration game. Many praise the atmosphere and story but the game is plagued by performance issues, bugs, and a poorly optimized engine. The voice acting is often noted as AI-generated, and some find the ending anticlimactic.
