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 bleak, atmospheric point-and-click adventure where a lonely girl raises a disturbing entity in a grim setting, with a slow, story-driven pace and a heavy sense of dread.

What players say

Players praise the thick atmosphere and unique story, likening it to an interactive SCP tale. Many find it unsettling without jumpscares, though a few call the gameplay repetitive and the experience short, with one reviewer saying monotony adds to the horror.
