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-paced, atmospheric exploration that feels like wandering through eerily familiar, empty spaces with a light touch of puzzle-solving.

What players say
Players praise the PS1-era aesthetic and atmospheric liminal spaces, but some find it lacking in tension or horror. A few note the absence of Chinese language support.
