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 slow, lonely descent into blurred reality as daily routine unravels into eerie psychological horror.

What players say

Players describe it as a short indie horror about a student's daily grind, with a surreal atmosphere that captures social pressure and isolation. Many praise the storytelling but note the jump mechanics sometimes break, and about half report performance issues, especially during rain.
