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 a cold, empty bunker while a constant sense of isolation and creeping dread presses in from the silent, realistic environment.

What players say

Players are split on Frozen Shelter: some enjoy the atmosphere and puzzles, while others find it confusing and unfinished. The game is very short, around one hour, and lacks clear guidance, leading to frustration with trial-and-error gameplay. Several reviewers note broken interactions and a disappointing story ending.
