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 tense, story-driven pixel-art adventure where you guide a teenage diner worker through a dark mystery with multiple outcomes and a persistent threat of violence.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short slasher game (around one hour for all seven endings) with multiple endings and a pixel art style similar to the developer's Happyhills Homicide. Some praise its atmosphere and value for the low price, while others criticize the lack of a save feature and find it repetitive compared to the free Happyhills Homicide.
