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 charmingly spooky rural adventure where you manage your summer days and fight nightmares with collected creatures.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming but short Persona knockoff set in 1960s Americana, with mixed feelings on combat accuracy and dungeon design. Most praise the pixel art and soundtrack, while noting it runs 15–20 hours without much replay value.
