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 creeping sense of dread as you explore a modern hotel that hides dark secrets, mixing survival and psychological horror.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the atmospheric tension and flashlight mechanics, while others call it an unfinished asset flip with no save system, empty rooms, and AI voiceover. Bugs like clipping through walls force restarts, and the lack of a map leaves many lost.
