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 navigate pure darkness with only a LiDAR gun to see, creeping through environments while avoiding an unseen threat that hunts you.

What players say

Players are split on this Early Access horror game. Some see a promising concept with an eerie handheld scanner mechanic, but most describe it as a bare-bones prototype with missing settings, harsh sound design, and very little content.
