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 somber and eerie visual novel where you explore a haunted school, unraveling ghostly attachments through quiet, tense encounters.

What players say

Players praise the story and emotional payoffs but split hard on whether the game delivers on its horror-romance promise. Many feel the ghost girls lose their grotesque appearance too early, making the promotional artwork misleading. Several also report system frustrations: unclear map controls, a bug that locks routes after clearing, and no autosave.
