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 gritty, claustrophobic descent through an endless elevator shaft, blending retro Hong Kong lo-fi visuals with a constant sense of psychological unease.

What players say

Players say it is a short psychological horror set entirely in a malfunctioning elevator, with a retro VHS visual style and three endings. Many praise the atmosphere but complain that getting all endings requires replaying without cutscene skips or saves, making it feel repetitive.
