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 moody investigative experience set during a rain-soaked night, where you explore a motel and piece together clues about strange disappearances at a deliberate pace.

What players say

Players say the game is very short, under an hour, and lacks the detective work promised by its genre. Many call it a ghost horror story with weak puzzles and a silly monster. Opinions on the writing are split, with some calling it AI slop and others enjoying the dialogue and atmosphere.
