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 gentle, melancholic short story RPG where you uncover hidden secrets through dialogue and exploration, with a quiet, introspective atmosphere and no combat.

What players say

Players describe a short, free RPG Maker horror game with an atmospheric premise but poor guidance: you often wander without knowing where to go. The repeated jump-scare image on touching fire annoys many. There are multiple endings and some hidden files, though NPCs feel like decoration and the story leaves gaps.
