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 are trapped in a dim room with a flickering TV, unlocking tapes that each drop you into a brief, disorienting first-person horror vignette.

What players say

Players say this horror anthology is a step up from the first collection, thanks to a hub world with puzzles that ties the games together. The twelve short entries are a mixed bag, some are bangers, some are weak, and the eldritch theme runs through them all.
