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 brief, rough-around-the-edges first-person puzzle-platformer that feels like an early tech demo, with a surreal and atmospheric horror tone.

What players say

Players treat this as a free tech demo rather than a full game. It is a short prototype with parkour elements and no real story or scares, best for fans curious about the Doorways series. Some note the lack of saving progress and that you can bunnyhop.
