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 quiet, creeping dread as you explore an abandoned mountain hot spring, uncovering secrets through routine inspections.

What players say

Players praise the eerie Japanese mountain atmosphere and cumulative tension, but many report the compass is unreliable and jumpscares get repetitive. Content is thin, feeling like the demo copied into a longer game, with some noting features like nighttime and specific encounters missing at release.
