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, atmospheric first-person hiking trip that turns into a survival horror experience as you chase your dog through believable forest environments.

What players say

Players praise the black-and-white horror atmosphere but split on the navigation, calling it disorienting and easy to get lost in. The game is short and plays like a walking simulator, though some report crashes and freezes at the menu that make it unplayable.
