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-burn horror-mystery where every decision feels weighty, set in a sleepy town that grows increasingly unnerving through sharp writing and eerie hand-drawn art.

What players say

Players rave about the branching narrative, saying choices genuinely reshape the story across multiple playthroughs. They praise the cast and the blend of horror with a cozy tone, though some note it's still in early access with chapters unfinished.
