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 fast-paced, gory stealth slasher with a darkly comedic and surreal tone, played through a crusty PS1-style lens.

What players say

Players enjoy the novelty of playing as a serial killer in a grimy Christmas setting, often comparing it to Hotline Miami. They note it is short, janky, and somewhat unpolished but still fun, with some calling it surprisingly cosy and praising the twist ending.
