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 navigate a live-action 3D world, repeatedly investigating objects and solving simple puzzles to piece together a fractured memory, with growing tension and fear guiding your search for the truth.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere but are frustrated by janky controls, a confusing story, and an ending that feels incomplete. The game is very short, around 30 minutes to an hour, and relies on repeating a loop to find hidden objects, which many find tedious.
