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

Players explore a warehouse, solve puzzles, and flee monsters while the game maintains a tense, suspenseful atmosphere with parodic and darkly humorous overtones.

What players say

Players describe a horror walking simulator set in a warehouse maze where you run from monsters with only a camera and flashlight, no weapons. Some call it an asset flip using stock assets, while others enjoy the atmosphere and backrooms-like exploration. The camera has a strong head bob that can cause nausea.
