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.

A tense, atmospheric horror exploration game where you navigate a dark underground labyrinth, dodge threats, and uncover a story of despair and escape.

What players say

Players are split on The Doll's Window. Many praise its art, music, and story as reminiscent of Ib and Mad Father, but a larger group finds the puzzles obscure, movement too slow, and enemy encounters frustrating due to stun locks and speed, making progression feel luck-based.
