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, lonely survival horror where you explore a corrupted forest and hide from a relentless monster while managing limited resources.

What players say

Players praise the eerie atmosphere and survival elements, but many warn the game is half-finished with bugs that can softlock progress, and the developer never patched them. Movement is very slow, resources are scarce, and the experience is short at around 3-5 hours.
