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 thriller where each room holds potential danger.

What players say

Players praise the heavy, oppressive atmosphere and well-hidden clues, saying the game builds tension through psychological dread rather than cheap scares. Reviews are split on difficulty, with some finding the boss fight frustratingly hard. A major early bug that could force a restart and a lack of multiple save slots frustrated some players.
