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 dark environments as a special agent, solving puzzles while a tense, atmospheric soundtrack and disturbing visuals build a creeping psychological dread.

What players say

Players are split on this short, atmospheric horror game. Many praise its psychological story and creepy setting, but the game is criticized for being extremely dark, clunky, and having frustrating puzzles, especially in the first chapter.
