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.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a decent short horror game with good atmosphere and jump scares, while others say it is a boring, aggravating item hunt with little story. The core gameplay involves searching a small house for hidden objects while avoiding a headless ghost that kills in one hit. Complaints about poor optimization and weak story are common.
