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 tense survival mystery where you manage characters and resources under time pressure, making careful choices that determine who lives or dies in a quick, replayable session.

What players say

Players praise the balance of narrative and turn-based combat in this 2-hour visual novel, though the lack of save states and fast-forward options frustrates some. The atmosphere and pixel art are highlights, and the short length encourages multiple playthroughs for different endings.
