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

You guide a beloved dog through a mysterious, eerie world by repeatedly pressing a single key, creating a slow, tension-filled atmosphere where everyday walking meets unsettling horror.

What players say

Players say this is a very short, narrative-driven game with almost no gameplay, focused entirely on a tearful story about a deceased dog. It is not scary at all, contrasting with the usual horror of the Tsugunohi series, and many reviewers cried.
