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, eerie puzzle of self-discovery through a strange, silent house, with a calm but uneasy tension.

What players say

Players call this a short RPGMaker horror game with easy but engaging puzzles and a story that wraps up neatly. Some praise the music as atmospheric, though one reviewer found the finale's heroic tone off-putting. A few note minor translation problems. Completed in about one to two hours, it has multiple bad endings.
