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.

What players say

Players are divided on this budget Christmas horror game. Some enjoy the premise of a small child escaping an evil Santa, but many point to gamebreaking bugs, unclear objectives, and repetitive item-collecting as dealbreakers. The game resets progress across three days, and Santa is hard to avoid once spotted.
