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 slow, atmospheric mystery with pixel-art dread, where you explore a strange hotel by solving puzzles and uncovering a dark, supernatural secret.

What players say

Players describe a short, melancholic mystery adventure with light puzzles and a heavy focus on story and atmosphere. The English translation is noted as rough in spots, and opinions split on whether the surreal title fits the tone.
