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 bleak, grimy first-person investigation that feels like stumbling through a nightmare of occult dread and personal tragedy.

What players say

Players describe it as a walking sim horror released as a first chapter with more promised. They praise the grimy atmosphere and some effective scares, but note clunky controls, obscure puzzles, awkward combat, and a slow walking speed. Reviews are split on whether the puzzles are clever or frustrating.
