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, slow-burn first-person horror that forces you to piece together a grisly past through unsettling environments and suspenseful events.

What players say

Players praise the horror atmosphere and story but are split on technical quality. Many report a lack of saving, performance drops, and bugs like uncollectible items. The game is short with only a handful of puzzles, and some find the price too high for what is offered in early access.
