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 and emotional hide-and-seek adventure through a cartoony yet moody world.

What players say

Players praise the tragic story and cohesive art style as a strong prequel to Hello Neighbor. Most find the gameplay repetitive, limited to fetch quests across five levels that take under two hours to complete. Some report crashes when caught, and one reviewer had to enable friendly mode to bypass a buggy toy-hiding phase.
