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, introspective journey through the mind of a depressed protagonist, presented in a starkly stylized visual style with a focus on emotional confession and psychological turmoil.

What players say

Players praise the bold narrative that tackles social issues like 996 and campus bullying with a Lu Xun-inspired edge, and the hand-drawn art style's surreal horror. But almost everyone agrees the final bullet-hell boss fight ruins the experience, worsened by stiff controls and cheap collision, many call it a great story trapped in a frustrating game.
