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 patrol empty, dim corridors, checking doors and lights while an uneasy feeling grows that something unseen is watching.

What players say

Players praise the creepy school atmosphere and effective sound design, but many find the story confusing and the ending disappointing. Some bugs like mouse sensitivity resetting and a forced identical patrol route for four days draw criticism. Reviews split on the horror: jump scares are rare, but the tension works well when wearing headphones.
