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 as a tiny captive in a cardboard city, sneaking and shooting with office supplies under the watch of a mysterious YouTuber, blending dark humour with tense stealth and FPS action.

What players say

Players praise the cardboard art and creepy atmosphere but are split on controls: the click-to-move requirement frustrates some VR owners, though teleport and free-walk options exist. The randomly generated mazes give good replay value, but the game ends without a satisfying conclusion.
