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 explore a cold, silent forest in a blocky PS1-era style, moving slowly through fixed camera angles and dreading what stirs beneath the stillness.

What players say

Players praise the narrative and cinematography but split on the puzzle section, which some say kills pacing. Complaints include backtracking in the same areas and occasional crashes. The game is short, about two hours.
