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 dark, haunted mansion with limited resources, every creaking door and shadow feels like a threat that could lead to a sudden, violent end.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric Lovecraftian setting and puzzle design but are split on the clunky combat and repetitive monster encounters. Many note technical bugs and stuttering, while fans of slow, story-driven horror appreciate the dual protagonist campaigns.
