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 slow-paced, pixel-art survival horror where you explore a haunted barn and solve puzzles at a gentle but eerie pace.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a fun short horror exploration game that is fast-paced and creepy, but many others complain the developer reskins the same GameMaker template and point out cheap deaths, crashes, broken saves, and an epilepsy hazard.
