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

From a lonely forest tower, you guide a lost hiker through dark woods by map and voice, creating tension through atmosphere and conversation rather than sudden scares.

What players say

Players say it is a very short, linear horror game clearly inspired by Do You Copy but with less interactivity and polish. The atmosphere and graphics are praised, but bugs like getting stuck on stairs, a confused ending and many useless items frustrate. Players split on value due to the 1-hour length and single ending.
