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

You explore a creepy asylum with a camera, feeling tension and dread as the maze-like halls shift around you.

What players say

Players describe a short escape-the-asylum game where you collect keys and face cheap image-based jumpscares. The hide-in-locker mechanic has no real use because monsters never chase you. Opinion splits: some find it worth an hour for the price, others dismiss it as generic and weak.
