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 lighthearted-dark stealth puzzle game where you sneak pixel-by-pixel through human villages, solving puzzles and absorbing skills by eating humans, all wrapped in a conspiratorial black-comedy tone.

What players say

Players describe this as a short puzzle-stealth game where you control Rumia through city screens, avoiding ninja for instant game over. The English is broken but the dark humor works, and fans appreciate the creative freedom. However, many complain about a very low save tolerance, forcing full replays of maps on death, and some frustrating puzzles that can block progress.
