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, atmospheric time-loop horror puzzle game where you unravel emotional wounds and slasher influences through non-linear exploration.

What players say

Players praise the run-based puzzle design as clever and challenging, often comparing it to Outer Wilds. The story is emotionally resonant, and the horror atmosphere is effective, though some find the puzzles solid rather than mind-blowing.
