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 text-based mystery where you unravel a dark, decade-old puzzle through careful reasoning and choices, always under the threat of danger.

What players say

Players praise the mystery plot and multiple endings, but many say the English translation is nearly unreadable and the art is clearly AI-generated. The game is free, though some find the final puzzle too hard and mention choices rarely branch the story.
