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

Exploring a dim, pixelated estate at a slow, deliberate pace while solving cryptic puzzles and uncovering a dark, unsettling story.

What players say

Players praise the Ringu-inspired atmosphere and retro visuals, but split on extensive key-hunting puzzles that make exploration tedious. The game is short, around an hour, with no real punishment for mistakes, though the sound mix can be startlingly loud.
