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 slowly explore a decaying house and its surrounding woods, piecing together a family's tragic story through scattered notes while an oppressive sense of dread builds.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric horror and sound design, with many saying the fear comes from tension rather than cheap jumpscares. It is a short walking simulator, under an hour, but some find the horror forced early on and the ending abrupt.
