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, tense exploration through a dark, silent house, filled with creeping dread and paranormal mystery.

What players say

Players finish this psychological horror game in about 50 minutes to an hour. It leans on atmosphere and jump scares rather than puzzles or story depth. Some praise the tension while others find the flashlight sway annoying. A few note it is from the same developer as From The Darkness.
