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.

What players say

Players call it an Exit 8-style anomaly-spotting game set in a traditional Japanese inn. You check five rooms each day for five days, flipping a sign to red if something is wrong. Horror is mild and there are no jump scares, making it approachable for beginners. Reviews are split on achievements: some find the luck-based unlocks frustrating and time-consuming.
