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 tense, ritualistic walking experience that demands careful observation and rule-following while navigating an unsettling shrine environment.

What players say

Many players call this a standard '8番出口-like' with a Japanese shrine setting. Reviews consistently highlight terrible mouse controls and camera motion sickness, though some note an update has improved them. Players say it's short, around one hour, and has obvious anomalies with few jump scares. Opinions split on whether the atmosphere outweighs the poor initial controls.
