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 third-person horror game where you explore Indonesian-inspired environments, hunt ghosts with a smartphone, and fight back with melee combat.

What players say

Players praise the Indonesian folklore, atmospheric soundtrack, and Silent Hill/Fatal Frame vibes, but many find the combat frustrating with stunlock deaths and a camera that is too close. The story is confusing without playing the first game, and some call it broken.
