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, repetitive walking simulator where you do mundane housework while being periodically startled by monsters leaping at the screen.

What players say

Players split on whether this is a horror game. Some find the tasks fun but not frightening, while others see it as a flawed indie effort. The story is confusing and the game is very short, often ending abruptly. Most say it is overpriced.
