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

Meticulously checking your surroundings in an infinite, surreal parking lot while deciding whether to turn back or press on based on subtle anomalies feels like a tense, observant walking puzzle.

What players say

Players praise the spooky atmosphere and addicting loop, but many say bugs, crashes and a pitch-black forest level make it frustrating. Difficulty spikes sharply in later maps and the game offers no hints for subtle anomalies, leaving some stuck for hours.
