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

Playing feels like creeping through an abandoned school with dread around every corner, driven by the urge to survive and escape.

What players say

Players say this survival horror game captures the tension of classic Japanese horror with a chase-and-hide structure, but it is let down by bugs, invisible walls, and no save system, forcing a full restart on death. The difficulty is high, with fast enemies and limited stamina, though the multiple endings and low price point are praised.
