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.

What players say

Players praise the story and characters but warn it is more of an interactive novel than a game, with long stretches of dialogue and a slow start. It is an episodic RPG Maker horror game that does not offer much action. Some players find the chase sequences frustrating due to heavy screen distortion, and later episodes can feel dragged out or suffer from technical issues like lag and crashes.
