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

You explore eerie abstract spaces, piece together a fragmented mystery by collecting clues across shifting dimensions, and slowly unravel a personal story through quiet, first-person discovery.

What players say

Players often mention the dark starting area that forces them to raise the brightness, and several note jump scares and a voice that yells in the headset. The clue-merging mechanic from the developer's earlier series returns, but the game has bugs like clipping issues that force a restart. Reviews split on whether newcomers will follow the story, and some warn of 3D motion sickness.
