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

Navigating a surreal, ominous warehouse where the mundane becomes terrifying, with a constant undercurrent of dread and dark absurdity.

What players say

Players are split. Some call it an asset flip with no subtitles, a Russian-only game that makes them nauseous from camera shake. Others enjoy the short horror adventure set in a warehouse with puzzles, comparing it to the Backrooms, and note the game can be finished in about 90 minutes.
