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 deceptively cute visual novel that pulls you into an unsettling psychological horror story.

What players say

Players split on this free visual novel about depression. Many appreciate its honest portrayal of suicidal thoughts, but the lack of meaningful choices frustrates nearly everyone: the game has only one ending regardless of what you pick. Critics call the writing shallow and unintentionally funny, while supporters find the story relatable and emotional.
