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 first-person maze crawler where you navigate deadly ducts, map your path, and gamble on Russian roulette for resources.

What players say

Players describe a claustrophobic horror maze with a 50-minute time limit, no checkpoints, and limited resources that keep tension high. Some praise the VHS visuals and Russian roulette risk-reward system, while others are frustrated by bugs, lack of lore, and the punishing lack of saves.
