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 disorienting, dread-laden walk through an endless nightmare where survival feels uncertain and each chapter deepens the unease.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and humor, and many enjoy recording their own bark to use in game. Some find the pace slow and wish the horror ramped up more toward the end, with a split on how much creepiness it delivers compared to the developer's earlier game.
