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 are alone in a dark forest, forced to use a camera that reveals invisible threats, making every step feel tense and exposed.

What players say

Players describe Infrared as a PS1-style horror game where you explore a forest to fuel your car. The infrared camera mechanic lets you see hidden entities, but the game gets frustrating. It has three endings, a secret one, and no saving, so each run takes about an hour. Some note very low starting mouse sensitivity.
