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 cautiously explore an isolated mansion as a caregiver, piecing together eerie incidents through dialogue and observation while your choices steer the story toward unsettling outcomes.

What players say

Players praise the deeply unsettling atmosphere and sound design, with many finding the caregiving sections surprisingly relaxing. However, the use of AI-generated images provokes strong negative reactions, with reviewers calling it distracting and dishonest even if disclosed. Some find the puzzles poorly signposted, and players split on whether the horror pacing escalates too quickly.
