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.

What players say

Players report that the game has been abandoned with no updates since around 2017 despite being in early access. Its content is limited to about 30 minutes and it suffers from performance issues, frequent bugs, and glitches. A few reviewers enjoyed the horror atmosphere and scares, but the technical problems and lack of development dominate the sentiment.
