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, first-person simulation of managing a failing convenience store at night with an unsettling narrative undertone.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is horror or a cozy management sim, but agree the game is stressful with constant multitasking. The story centers on a mentally ill father working a night shift, and while the atmosphere is praised, many find the events repetitive and the horror elements more annoying than scary.
