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 brief, text-based horror drama that relies on writing to create tension and unease.

What players say

Players praise the post-apocalyptic atmosphere and branching story, but many note the English translation has grammatical errors and confusing character labels in dialogue. The game is short, under three hours for most, with several endings and frequent calls for a follow-up chapter.
