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 melancholic walk through regret and sorrow, guided by sparse dialogue and simple puzzles

What players say
Players describe it as a short Yume Nikki or Omori-style game with voice acting and multiple endings, but split on quality. Some praise the effort and dark atmosphere, others call it confusing, buggy, lacking nuance or overly edgy, with wonky hitboxes and a blatant story that fails to connect.
