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 survival horror game where you use audio cues and security cameras to defend your home from an intruder with a slightly unserious tone.

What players say

Players describe a short but memorable horror game that mixes serious tension with surreal, joke-heavy moments. The gameplay requires planning camera placements and learning the layout, though some expected a more serious home invasion sim and found the tone off-putting.
