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 navigate a dark, oppressive environment with limited sight, relying on LiDAR to survive a tense and anxiety-inducing horror experience.

What players say

Players compare it to Scanner Sombre, praising the LiDAR mechanic and tense atmosphere but some find puzzles mediocre and the monster chase at the end out of place. The game is short, around 2 hours, and opinions split on whether the scanning feels like a gimmick or a highlight.
