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 first-person horror puzzle game where you piece together fragmented clues in a retro pixel world to rescue an alien cat from an axe-wielding maniac.

What players say

Players describe a short, confusing horror game that forces a single-sitting playthrough with no save or pause. The basement chase section is a wall, with an enemy that kills in three hits and puzzles whose numbers and keys are nearly invisible. Several players report softlocks, and the single achievement has a 3.5% completion rate.
