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 late-night radio DJ fielding life-or-death calls from townsfolk while solving puzzles to keep them alive, blending tense horror with darkly funny dialogue.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and 80s slasher atmosphere, but split on the gameplay: some find it a fun interactive movie, while others call it boring, slow, and overly reliant on listening to phone calls without much interaction.
