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 nostalgic yet eerie pixel-art adventure where a timid boy explores a mysterious mansion in a strange forest to find his lost sister.

What players say

Players call it a love letter to old freeware horror RPGs: cute chibi characters hide frequent, unfair deaths and a real-time time limit that can force restarts. Reviews split on whether the sparse hints and trial-and-error design are rewarding or frustrating, but agree it is free and runs under two hours for one ending.
