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

You creep through a dark, abandoned funeral home, tense and nervous, trying to avoid a deadly enemy by staying close but not caught.

What players say

Players describe a creepy atmosphere ruined by broken auto-saves that force a full restart on death, and direction that is never given. Bugs like clipping through floors and keys that fail to appear are common. As a free game, some call it a decent short horror while others say even free is too much.
