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 bleak, text-driven descent into madness where every click maintains a fragile grip on reality and the conclusion feels inevitable.

What players say

玩家普遍称赞文字的笔力和对东亚家庭困境的真实描写，能引发强烈共鸣，但也多数提到流程太短、系统简陋到反人类（比如ESC直接退出、存档混乱），以及选项不改变剧情走向，感觉故事戛然而止。
