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 grim, story-driven 2D adventure with a tense atmosphere and macabre pagan folklore, where you guide a young witch through a savage ritual.

What players say
Players describe this as a short visual novel with light walking and minigames, offering a folk-horror story that takes about 40 minutes. Some find it too slow and text-heavy with basic writing mistakes, while others praise the atmosphere and voice acting. The chapter mostly shows linear events without meaningful choices, serving as a test before the full game.
