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 dark, story-driven adventure with a surreal and emotionally heavy tone, balancing psychological horror with moments of dark humor and heartfelt drama.

What players say

Players praise the bleak, emotional story and atmospheric horror, but say the gameplay is the weakest part with janky movement and a frustrating boss in chapter 5. Some also note a single save slot and no accessibility options, though one blind gamer made a mod for that. It runs well on Steam Deck.
