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 creepy attic feels tense as you uncover unsettling VHS tapes that twist a nostalgic cartoon into a dark psychological mystery.

What players say

Players describe a short point-and-click puzzle game with a tense atmosphere and clever puzzles. Some find the back-and-forth between scenarios repetitive, and a few dislike having to restart after wrong guesses. The story is told through found tapes and multiple endings.
