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 taut nighttime drive where every passenger could be your last, keeping you on edge as you listen for clues and try not to provoke violence.

What players say

A short psychological horror driving game where watching passengers and making choices builds tension, with several endings that players replay. Many find the driving annoying rather than scary, and performance is rough. Some reviewers at zero hours say it's a paid demo.
