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-burn atmospheric horror where you explore a cursed village, solve unsettling puzzles, and uncover hidden lore under a constant threat of nightfall.

What players say

Players praise the disturbing creature design and atmospheric horror, but the walking speed is painfully slow, padded by backtracking, and the translation is poor. The game is short, around 3-4 hours, and lacks a map.
