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, first-person survival horror where you creep through an abandoned village, scavenging for supplies while a relentless monster stalks you in the shadows.

What players say

Players praise the concept and sound design but consistently report that the monster gets stuck in the environment, ruining the tension. Performance is also a frequent complaint, requiring a strong PC to run smoothly.
