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 janky, physically simulated horror experience where you and friends fumble through a dark farmstead using clumsy hand controls to solve obstacles and flee hostile creatures.

What players say

Players are split: the intentionally awful hand controls and glitches make the game a frustrating, buggy mess, but many find it hilarious and worth the struggle in co-op. The unfunniest part is being killed by a chicken with no recovery.
