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 tense, atmospheric journey through unsettling tapes where each step feels weighted by hidden dangers and a creeping dread.

What players say

Players like this anomaly-hunting game for its atmosphere and variety of locations, but note that anomalies are easy to spot and the game is short, around 20 minutes for a basic run. Some praise the random anomaly spawns for replayability, while others find the repetitive level visits tedious.
