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, creeping incremental dungeon crawl that builds dread through its oppressive horror atmosphere.

What players say

Players are split on the game. Many praise the atmosphere, puzzles, and art direction, but a vocal group finds the idle mechanics shallow and grindy, with useless upgrades and a progression system that punishes long runs. The ending is satisfying to some but others feel the game is too short and unbalanced.
