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 chilling but darkly humorous telephone operator simulator that makes you feel the creeping dread of unseen household horrors while flipping through a catalog of cryptic pests and hazards.

What players say

Players enjoy the detective-like puzzle loop of identifying creatures from a growing bestiary, but many say the game is too short and not scary. Some criticize the price, and players note the voice acting limits replayability by fixing the call order each playthrough.
