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 interactive horror novel where unsettling encounters and branching choices build a creeping sense of dread.

What players say

Players describe it as a collection of four short Japanese horror stories with atmospheric writing and effective sound design. The game is free and takes about 3 hours to complete, but reviews note that some stories feel unresolved and the prose can be wordy.
