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, atmospheric escape where you guide a defenseless animal through claustrophobic underground facilities, relying on stealth and simple movement to avoid invisible threats.

What players say

Players enjoy a short, creepy stealth-puzzle game starring a cute fox, but nearly all say the lore is untranslated Japanese and controls feel janky. The game is simple and short, around two to three hours, with a forgiving difficulty and a tense atmosphere.
