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, atmospheric first-person exploration through a dark forest, guided by a mysterious book and whispering flowers while carrying a tense, story-rich survival horror feel.

What players say
Players describe this as a very short, atmospheric horror game based on MZLFF's song, with great music and art. Some report performance issues, and one review notes the lack of achievements and Chinese language support.
