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 quiet, unsettling journey through a decaying hotel where memory and guilt warp reality with each looping step.

What players say

Players call it a short atmospheric horror game driven by story, with a looping hallway that changes gradually. The puzzles are simple and there are no monsters, just tension and a twist ending. Some praise the PS1-style visuals, though one player felt queasy from the graphics.
