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 stealth-horror experience with shifting perspectives and a heavy reliance on story and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, well-timed jumpscares, and puzzle-focused design, calling it a big step forward for the developer. Some find the movement too slow, the puzzles occasionally wonky, and a few report bugs that can block progress, especially near the end.
