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

Moving through a familiar house that grows unsettling, you photograph clues to fight a creeping memory loss while piecing together a fractured identity.

What players say

Players praise the mix of anomaly hunting with puzzles and a story, though they split on the ending some find edgy and unsatisfying. Difficulty is well-tuned but requires memorization and luck on higher settings. The game has performance problems, including long initial load times and no FOV options.
