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.

You explore abandoned suburban homes at night, uncovering a conspiracy through investigation and stealth, with a tense, psychological atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and story but are split on scares: some find it deeply frightening, others say it is more eerie than scary. The game is short, about 2-3 hours, with exploration across houses that each have their own lore. A few reviewers wished it were longer.
