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 tense, atmospheric walking simulator that immerses you in a gritty VHS-filtered night shift, where mundane tasks slowly unravel into psychological unease.

What players say

Players praise its short, eerie atmosphere and slow-burn J-horror tension, especially the walk to work and scanning barcodes under buzzing lights. Many call it a cheap, fun one-sitting experience, though some find it not scary, and note the lack of a save feature and softlocking.
