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 bleak, atmospheric first-person mystery that feels like wandering through a dark, supernatural dream where every choice deepens the emotional weight.

What players say

Players say this is a free, very short visual novel that's creepy and dark, with a unique premise about trading body parts for wishes. It has multiple endings and music that stands out, but also some repeated dialogue and mature content.
