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 brief, atmospheric horror walk through empty streets late at night, driven by personal disappointment and a lonely bus ride home.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short adventure, around 25 to 40 minutes, filled with funny dialogues and genuine Argentine atmosphere that avoids overused stereotypes. Most agree it is not horror despite the tag, and some find a long tunnel section tedious.
