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 top-down survival horror where you navigate a dark, pixelated labyrinth while being hunted by shadows, searching for orbs and a bed to wake up.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and music, calling the game a fun short-session title for its price. Some find the first three levels repetitive and monotonous before the variety picks up.
