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, cat-and-mouse survival horror where you must stay silent and hidden while a killer prowls just outside your remote home.

What players say

Players compare it to Granny and Hello Neighbor, a short trial-and-error escape game where you die often and restart from scratch. Some enjoy the scares but find it hard to track the killer by sound alone.
