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 hide-and-seek where a learning AI keeps you constantly on edge, mixing genuine dread with absurd traps and dark humour.

What players say

Players are split between nostalgia for a childhood favorite and frustration with confusing puzzles, buggy physics, and dumb AI. Many recommend buying on sale and relying on mods for the real fun, while others insist the alpha versions were better.
