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

You explore an abandoned prison through grainy VHS-style footage, uncovering a slow-burning, realistic mystery with an unsettling atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and sound design but consistently note the game is extremely short, often beaten in under 30 minutes. The first half is considered stronger than the second, and the ending disappoints some. A heartbeat sensor near items adds dread, though the game relies heavily on jump scares.
