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, pixelated survival horror where you explore a retro top-down hotel, piecing together tragic events through investigation and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players criticize this as an asset-flipped template with short, trial-and-error gameplay, cheap jumpscares, and a broken save system. A few find it fun for an hour, but most call it unpolished and not worth playing.
