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 tense, atmospheric exploration simulator where an unstable environment and random events keep you on edge as you piece together a dark story.

What players say

Players agree the game is very short, most finish in about an hour. The hotel's atmosphere is praised, with a sanity system and limited flashlight batteries adding tension. However, players are split on the story: some find it confusing at first but rewarding, while others say the ending is predictable. The game has minimal jump scares and relies on uneasy atmosphere.
