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 brief, claustrophobic descent into madness captured through a shaky bodycam lens, where dread and psychological decay drive every step.

What players say

Players say this is essentially a paid demo for the upcoming game Mother Hub, lasting about 45 minutes to an hour. The voice acting and atmosphere get consistent praise, but many find the stalking enemy and hiding mechanics frustrating or broken.
