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, solitary adventure through grief and longing, with a heavy, quiet atmosphere.

What players say

Paper cut is a very short horror adventure that players finish in under an hour. Reviews consistently note confusing moments about where to go and what to do, but many still appreciate the emotional story and its PS1-style foggy visuals. Some find the cutscenes excessive and the writing rough, though the developer's effort is recognized.
