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 simulation where you tune into a retro TV channel and observe static, glitchy broadcasts, creating a sense of quiet mystery.

What players say

Players find Channel 64 a very short, cheap horror game with a creepy atmosphere and high-quality audio tapes, but many say its puzzles and monster don't pay off and jumpscares are unremarkable. Opinion splits over whether it's a decent first effort or a nonsense story with weak scares.
