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 a solid but short survival horror game with a memorable carnival setting, wearing its PS1-era influences proudly. Many note bugs like enemies attacking during cutscenes and costume glitches, though most find them minor. The roughly two-hour length is a common point, with some saying it leaves no wasted time while others wish for more.
