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 horror game where you must frantically text for help while trapped in a car with a lurking threat.

What players say

Players enjoy the humorous premise of texting while driving away from monsters, though the game is very short at a few minutes. The scares are mild, but the typing challenge and a few bugs can force restarts.
