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 sit alone in a dim apartment, scanning security cameras for subtle anomalies while balancing a punishing quota and the dread of leaving your door unlocked.

What players say

Players praise the tension but warn about performance issues, especially with global illumination. Many find nightmare mode unbalanced, and a few report bugs like a box clipping through walls. The game is often compared to Welcome to the Game, with players split on whether that style appeals to them.
