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 set up cameras and ghost hunting gear in a spooky house, waiting for signs of a murdered girl's spirit while trying to survive the night.

What players say

Players call this a cheap Five Nights at Freddy's clone with repetitive gameplay and a heavy reliance on jumpscares. Some enjoy the tension, but many note that holding the door makes the whole game trivial.
