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 brief, unsettling visual novel that draws from real experiences to create a tense and atmospheric horror story.

What players say

Players describe a very short horror visual novel about a father changing his baby's diaper in a public restroom, with multiple endings and voice acting. Some complain about missing a quit button and a pause menu that gets disabled, and a silence-the-phone choice that does nothing.
