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 slow, atmospheric adventure through a surreal and eerie facility, marked by abstract visuals and a quiet sense of unease.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and interconnected level design but are split on the monster. Many want to explore at their own pace but find the creature's one-shot kills and silent patrolling frustrating, especially in narrow corridors. It is a short experience, under two hours, with simple gameplay and a focus on lore and secrets.
