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, first-person psychological horror experience that blends folklore and personal dread as you traverse between hell and Earth.

What players say

Players call this an abandoned early access game with no updates since 2021. Those who played it describe clunky controls, unexplained mechanics, and heavy reliance on jumpscares. Some praise the atmosphere but many find it frustrating and unfinished.
