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 race against a 10-minute clock where you scavenge items and solve puzzles to escape a towering, atmospheric radio tower.

What players say

Players describe a short, simple escape room with puzzles that are easy to solve, often finishing all endings in under an hour. The horror elements are mild and the jump scares rely more on loud sounds than visuals, which some found disappointing. Many reviews note the game was made by a solo 15-year-old developer, praising the effort but calling the experience decent rather than great.
