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 methodically frame night shots of empty houses, balancing professionalism with a creeping sense of isolation.

What players say

Players say the game is a short, atmospheric PS1-style horror where you photograph houses and the scares show up in the pictures. Most find it well crafted and effective, but they split on how scary it is, some say the jumpscares land while others find them predictable. Nearly everyone wishes it were longer, with only six assignments and little replay value.
