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

You monitor screens and type responses during a tense night shift, feeling the weight of unseen consequences.

What players say

Players say the typing-surveillance blend is a clever idea, but the game is marred by inconsistent romaji input rules that make some words impossible to type. The lack of saves and a total reset on game over frustrate many, though horror-averse players appreciate the absence of jump scares.
