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

You navigate a grim, blood-soaked prison as a detective, piecing together a sinister puzzle while under constant dread and tension.

What players say

Players finish it in 20 to 30 minutes and describe it as a short walking simulator. The scares are repeated jumpscare images, the gameplay is limited to collecting keys and flicking switches, and there is no in-game story or music.
