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 short, atmospheric pixel-art horror adventure that feels like exploring a mysterious Japanese underworld through a branching narrative.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and chubby female lead, but split on the gameplay: some find the chasing and puzzles frustrating, others say it is manageable. The story is described as predictable, and several reviewers report bugs like freezes and crashes.
