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 cozy yet unsettling management simulation where you prepare boba tea while a creeping psychological horror lurks beneath the cheerful surface.

What players say

Players describe a short one-hour horror experience that combines boba tea shop simulation with a descent into unease. The story offers a twisty ending open to interpretation, though some find it predictable. The translation is criticized, and a few bugs are noted, such as orders not being accepted correctly and an achievement counting issue.
