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 detective-style visual novel where you uncover yokai disguised as tenants, blending mystery with a hint of the supernatural and emotional depth.

What players say

Players praise the art and the core idea that yokai cannot lie, but many find the deduction system confusing and the UI clunky. Opinions split on difficulty: some breeze through while others get stuck. The game is short, around 6-10 hours, and several reviewers felt it was overpriced. Performance and control issues on Steam Deck are reported.
