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 survival horror where each character's death carries weight as you explore a mansion and switch to frantic arcade combat when cornered.

What players say

Players describe a short survival horror game that takes heavy inspiration from Resident Evil Gaiden, with close-quarters combat that creates tension without inventory management. The puzzles can be cryptic enough to need a guide, and the story is bland, but the gameplay loop makes up for it.
