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

Exploring a haunted monastery with a sense of dread, solving puzzles while waiting for the next scare.

What players say

Players call this a short walking simulator with jump scares and simple puzzles, clocking in under two hours. The sound design and atmosphere get praise, but some say the game relies too much on scripted scares and not enough on ambiance. A few hit a bug where lighting torches in the wrong order breaks progression, though others say it works fine.
