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.

You navigate a dark mansion in first person, solving puzzles while listening for a lurking threat to avoid being caught.

What players say

Players praise the sound design and randomized puzzles that change each run. The monster's chase is tense, with well-timed scares. A few find puzzles obtuse or sound detection too strict.
