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

You navigate a dark alien forest using only your eyes, evading unseen threats in a tense, deliberate game of hide and seek.

What players say

Players are split on this free horror game. They praise its pixel art and sound design but find the game confusing with little to no direction, leading to frustration. The ending is widely criticized as unsatisfying, though some enjoy the challenge of nightmare mode.
