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, introspective journey through a somber world, where each step feels deliberate and the atmosphere is thick with unspoken melancholy.

What players say

Players call this a short psychological horror visual novel with a surreal art style and multiple endings. The story is more straightforward than the developer's earlier work, though some find the dialogue bloated and overly focused on the protagonists' parents. Performance problems with the animated backgrounds and save loading are widely reported.
