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

You wander a silent, eerie Neo-Tokyo, guided by a fragile AI companion while something unnatural stalks you from the shadows.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and story but warn that the pixel-art maze is easy to get lost in. The permadeath is divisive: some call it a tense challenge, others find it punishing when combined with rare softlocks. Most agree the game has no combat and relies on exploration and puzzles.
