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 navigate a creepy manor, solving puzzles while uncovering dark secrets, with rising tension and a blur between reality and the supernatural.

What players say

Players say the darkness is extreme without a brightness slider, and the puzzles can be tricky often with a solution in plain sight. The atmosphere comes from exploring a large, eerie mansion, and while some find the game unkind or boring, others enjoy the challenge and the shift after the second level. Load times after death are noted as a downside.
