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 tense, claustrophobic survival horror experience where you navigate dark underground environments and avoid mutated aggressors.

What players say

Players describe a short, linear horror game where you run from monsters and solve generator puzzles. Many compare it to Outlast or Penumbra, saying it's low-budget with cheap jump scares and repetitive brown corridors. Reviews split: some enjoy the tense chases and atmosphere, others find it shallow and too short for the price.
