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, investigative exploration of a dark orphanage where solving puzzles and piecing together clues reveals a disturbing supernatural mystery.

What players say
Players describe a short, atmospheric horror investigation set in an abandoned orphanage, with a retro PSX visual style. It has no save system, so it must be finished in one sitting, and the puzzles can be confusing with no hints, leaving some players lost. Reviews split on whether it is actually scary, with several noting it is more suspense than horror and that the story is the main draw.
