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 walking experience where you carefully scrutinize a repeating hospital corridor for subtle anomalies, forcing you to retrace your steps in a chilling loop.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the two-level anomaly hunt for the low price, but many call it a cheap knockoff of The Exit 8 that feels abandoned. The VR mode reportedly does not work and the developer has gone silent.
