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 pixel-art survival horror dating sim where each death reshapes a handcrafted, darkly funny night out in a secluded bar.

What players say

Players describe a short, absurd horror roguelike where frustration and laughter mix, built around dying repeatedly to unlock new paths and secrets. The meta humor and constant expectation subversion are highlights, but many note the corridors feel repetitive and the mechanics are bare bones. Reviews split on whether the annoyance is worth the unique experience.
