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, atmospheric visual novel where you click through a mysterious mountain story with occasional horror elements and a toggle to reduce the tension.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the emotional story and time-rewind mechanic, but many criticize mandatory in-app purchases that gate endings and compare the game to free-to-play mobile titles. Several note the game is more a romance visual novel than horror, with repetitive segments that cannot be skipped.
