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 descent into a traumatized man's childhood nightmares, blending exploration and puzzle-solving with a grim, story-driven atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the escape-room-style puzzles and moody atmosphere, but are divided on the story: some find the plot full of holes and the jump scares cheap, while others appreciate the sinister tone and the narrator's chaotic energy. The game is short, around two hours.
