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 paranoid, unsettling descent into darkness where every pixelated encounter blends erotic tension with creeping dread.

What players say

Players praise the yuri story and emotional multiple endings but are split on the gameplay. Many like the horror atmosphere and puzzles, while some find the chases and later combat sections frustrating. The h-scenes are static, not animated, and include non-consensual content. A few reviewers mention the game feels influenced by Fatal Frame.
