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-burn, choice-driven walk through a single eerie day where your domestic routine could unravel into folk horror or mundane tragedy, depending on every action or inaction.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere, voice acting, and multiple endings but often struggle with confusing objectives and trial-and-error gameplay. The map is criticized as too large with plain layout, and some report bugs like missing collision on a house.
