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 2D horror game that starts innocently but quickly shifts into tense mini-games and chilling cutscenes, keeping you on edge with startling scares.

What players say

Players are split on this horror minigame collection. Many call the difficulty unfair with one-hit kills and excessive RNG, while others enjoy the art and the masochistic challenge. Several note the game is very short, offering only about 9 unique minigames out of 17 total.
