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 tense, psychological horror visual novel where you interrogate a monstrous subject in a cold chamber, with your choices shaping the outcome over three days.

What players say

Players call it a very short, choice-driven visual novel with SCP-influenced horror that can be finished in under an hour. They praise the distinctive art style and atmosphere, but note that some choices feel meaningless and the conditions for the final ending are unclear.
