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 pixel-art thriller where you explore a strange, locked house and piece together fragmented memories in a tense and mysterious journey.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art, horror atmosphere and puzzle design, but nearly all English-speaking reviews warn that large portions of the game are untranslated Chinese, making it unplayable for non-Chinese readers. A few note that the soundtrack directly copies tracks from Silent Hill 2 and Alice: Madness Returns.
