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 slow-burn, surreal horror visual novel where reality twists and moral lines blur as you explore unsettling, manga-inspired tales.

What players say

Players praise the artwork and clear Junji Ito inspiration, calling it a love letter to horror manga. The three short stories with branching paths are engaging but some find the writing weaker than the art or the endings lacking. A mystery around a locked fourth drawer keeps players exploring.
