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 slow, oppressive dread builds as you explore a dark house and care for a burned man, uncovering a terrifying connection to your own past.

What players say

Players praise the story and tense atmosphere but split on the game's technical state. A few report severe framerate drops when leaving the house, and some criticize AI-generated art and voice work. The voice-controlled jump scares and candle-based survival mechanic are standout features. Completing the game takes around 3-4 hours.
