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 slow-burn psychological horror game where exploration and unsettling encounters build a creeping sense of isolation and paranoia.

What players say

Players say this is a very short horror game, around 20 to 60 minutes, with a creepy apartment atmosphere and odd neighbors. Some report bugs like clipping through doors or disappearing objects, and one reviewer found the motion blur extreme. Reviews are split on whether the price is fair for the length.
