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 first-person survival horror experience where you navigate an abandoned college, solve puzzles, and manage relationships with obsessive antagonists to escape or gain their favor.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Saiko no Sutoka but appreciate being able to choose between a male and female yandere, each with distinct lore. The voice acting gets praise for being lively, though many note the game feels early in development with room to grow.
