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 story-driven visual novel where you explore a collection of unsettling short tales through different perspectives, with a slow, atmospheric feel.

What players say

Players like the first few urban-legend short stories, then split on the later chapters: many say the writing drags, the attempt to link them falls flat, and the sci-fi twist ending disappoints. Several note the game is mostly clicking through text with almost no player choice.
