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

This is a slow-burn first-person horror game steeped in Kashubian folklore, where exploration and atmosphere drive the experience rather than action.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and the ritual-based magic system that combines drawing runes with survival horror gunplay, but agree the story and dialogue feel unfinished. Many appreciate the Kashubian folklore inspiration, though the enemy AI is easily avoided and the cat companion gives constant obvious hints. The early access content is about two hours long and ends abruptly.
