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.

A tense and lonely walk through an abandoned city, piecing together a dark mystery with ghostly encounters and simple puzzles.

What players say

Players describe a very short horror game, around 30 to 40 minutes, focused on walking through a haunted hotel and reading notes with a few jump scares. Many find the atmosphere engaging but note rough controls, crashes near the ending, and a basic, unpolished feel. Reviews are split on whether the story's twist justifies the playtime.
