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 wake in an unfamiliar house, and the silence itself feels like a presence watching your every step toward a hidden truth.

What players say

A short indie horror game that most players finish in one to two hours, built around a house, a lurking entity, and a match that burns out. The slow walking speed and a pile-up of jumpscares near the end are the main complaints, while the match light and audio carry the scares. A few find the later light-the-monster section confusing and handheld controller support missing.
