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 puzzle-filled survival experience where you rely on your phone to navigate a surreal and threatening digital nightmare.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and dread, calling it scary without relying on cheap jumpscares. The phone is the main item, controls are listed in the pause menu, and it runs well on Steam Deck. It is short, about one to two hours, and some suggest buying on sale.
