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 slow, meditative ritual of soaking in hot springs and saunas to reach a state of calm focus.

What players say

Players describe it as a short horror game with a sauna simulation twist. The core loop is managing your overheat gauge by cycling through hot baths, saunas, and cold water to earn points. Reviews emphasize that it is genuinely creepy, with a toggleable jumpscare mode for the faint of heart, and that the multiple endings and soundtrack are highlights.
