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 command-based adventure where you piece together clues in a closed-room mystery while an eerie undrlying threat looms.

What players say

Players are split on this free mystery adventure, which blends occult elements with classic command-based gameplay. While some praise the substantial story and retro charm, others criticize the all-hiragana text as hard to read and note that supernatural twists undermine the pure mystery for some. The game is free, 8–14 hours long, and has no achievements or English support.
