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 short, unsettling horror experience centered on grotesque bodily transformation by a worm-like god, with slow dread and visceral imagery.

What players say

Players say it is a very short narrative horror experience, taking around 30 to 45 minutes for a first playthrough, with multiple endings that encourage repeat runs due to randomized elements. The body horror and unsettling atmosphere are praised, but some find the detective mechanics weak and the dialogue choices arbitrary, with a few reporting audio and crash issues on Steam Deck.
