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

Navigating a crumbling spaceship between reality and nightmare, piecing together clues while managing limited tools and constant paranoia.

What players say

Players describe this as a horror game where invisible enemies must be tracked via environmental clues like monitors and thermometers. Exploration involves rescuing crew and managing limited resources, with a difficulty that demands careful observation and repetition. Many note it expands on the developer's earlier free game Heavy Dream, though the opaque systems can frustrate until they click.
