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 walk through creaky, dimly lit hotel corridors, scanning for tiny wrong details as a low hum warns you to bolt for the stairs.

What players say

Players enjoy spotting subtle anomalies in a looping hotel, but dying resets progress to floor one which some find frustrating. The game is short and simple, with a few good jump scares and a P.T.-like atmosphere.
