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 slow, tense exploration of dark environments, combining puzzle-solving with sudden scares and a haunting soundtrack.

What players say

Players say it is a very short horror game that feels unfinished, ending abruptly with a 'to be continued' that never came. The atmosphere and some scares work, but clunky controls, confusing moments, and the lack of any resolution frustrate many. Most agree it is only worth picking up at a deep discount.
