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 and grim journey through a pixelated nightmare where discovery and survival hinge on piecing together a tragic past.

What players say

Players call this a cult classic JRPG horror with a nonlinear story and strong voice acting, but warn it is nearly unplayable without a guide. The art style is divisive and some find the characters grating. The 2021 port adds extra chapters that expand the lore but has no achievements.
