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, reflective escape from a draining routine, with a subdued and slightly tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players call it a short, choice-driven visual novel about a toxic relationship and drug abuse, with multiple endings. Some expected supernatural horror based on the title and tags, but found it absent. The story is praised for its tense atmosphere and realistic dialogue, while the hand-drawn art is widely admired despite some AI-assisted assets.
