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-burn, atmospheric first-person journey through eerie 1990s rural China, where unsettling oral folktales come to life through meticulous environmental storytelling.

What players say

Players are split on this loop horror game: some enjoy its multiple endings and random death animations, while others find the trial-and-error design frustrating, especially the lack of saving and a noodle-cooking puzzle that forces repetition.
