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, claustrophobic survival horror game where you play as a child hiding from a stalker in a dark, interactive home, evading danger and managing light to keep your head.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and sound design, with many calling it genuinely scary. The story and ending also get compliments. However, the game is short and some find the mechanics pointless, leaving players split on whether the price is worth it.
