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.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere and jump scares, but some feel the game relies too heavily on random jump scares and is too short for the price. A bug with the options menu lingering on screen is noted. Reviewers consistently mention this is a solo developer's first game and they are impressed.
