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

Slow-paced, unsettling exploration through a dimly lit mansion, relying on notes, tapes, and puzzles to piece together a fragmented mystery.

What players say

Players call it a short, creepy walking simulator with simple puzzles and lots of key searching. Some praise the atmosphere and well-placed jump scares, while others find the key hunting tedious and scares weak. Multiple reviews warn that falling without essential items forces a restart because the game lacks manual saving.
