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, pixel-art survival horror where you navigate a zombie-infested apartment, piecing together a story through exploration and puzzles.

What players say

A short sequel to Em-A-Li, about 45–60 minutes long, that improves on the original with better graphics, a crafting system, and multiple endings. Players enjoy hunting for easter eggs and note the effective but mild jumpscares. Many find the main character's repeated swearing annoying.
