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 disorienting trip that keeps folding tropical luxury into end-of-the-world survival, leaving you unsure what kind of game you're playing from one moment to the next.

What players say

Players consistently describe a surreal, dialogue-heavy mystery with a time loop structure, repetitive chores, and a strong soundtrack, often comparing it to Paradise Killer and Danganronpa. Most praise its strange atmosphere, but one long-play reviewer says the story drags and the busywork wears thin by the end.
