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 quiet, disorienting drift through identical tiled rooms where careful observation is the only tool you have, and the calm repetition slowly wears on you.

What players say

A short anomaly-spotting horror game set in a liminal indoor pool, often compared to Exit 8 and Platform 8, and most players finish it in around 10 to 20 minutes. Several say the anomalies are too few and the difficulty too easy, while others praise the underwater sections and the scares.
