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, story-driven side-scrolling horror that feels like navigating a folklore-infused ghost town with a slow-burn mystery.

What players say

Players praise the Chinese folklore story and 2D art, but strongly criticize the 3D modeling, buggy physics, and unrebindable controls, many call it a good story ruined by poor execution and say development appears abandoned.
