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 explore a dimly lit house with your cat, clearing rats while uncovering eerie secrets in a low-key, nostalgic setting.

What players say

Players love yeeting their cat Lola at rats in this short horror adventure, but split hard on an ending that forces them to sacrifice the cat. The crank flashlight and well-placed jump scares are highlights, though the secret ending underwhelms and collectible hunting feels wasted.
