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 short, tense pixelated horror experience blending stealth and puzzle-solving in an unnervingly cold, empty house.

What players say

Players call it a short, creative horror game with solid jump scares, but they're split on the ending: some find the boss fight buggy and poorly explained, while others enjoy the dumb fun for the low price. Ambiguity in puzzles also frustrates some.
