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, hushed search through a silent forest where every breath feels watched and the threat is patient rather than loud.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and sound design, and the story's twists, but some find it hard to follow. The game takes under two hours to finish, and one reviewer calls the ending insensitive, while others note enemy glitches can trap you. Players split on the ending's impact.
