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, stealth-heavy horror where you creep through a dark house while a clown stalks you, best played with headphones in the dark.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy its goofy, homemade charm and surprising difficulty, but most report constant crashes at save points, janky combat, and an overall lack of polish that makes the game barely playable.
