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 play a first-person puzzle game while trapped in a cabin, where solving in-game puzzles causes traps to appear in reality, creating a tense, layered mystery.

What players say

Players enjoy the puzzle design but split on the boss fights, which some find frustratingly jarring. The game is short, around 4 hours, and many recommend waiting for a sale. A few report freezing issues that lock up the game.
