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, atmospheric retro pixel adventure where you stealthily uncover a dark mystery shrouded in gore and violent paranormal events.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art atmosphere and sound design but note that the flashlight battery drains too quickly and the stamina system makes movement frustratingly slow. The story is told through notes and tapes, and the game takes about four hours to complete, leaving some wishing for more content.
