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

You play as a high school student navigating a pixelated, red-moonlit otherworld, carefully searching for clues and managing scarce resources while fending off deadly encounters.

What players say

Players praise its creepy atmosphere and music, and the combat grows into a real challenge by the end. Several note the English translation is rough, and opinions on the price are mixed. A few found the exploration tedious and the mid-game enemies too fast.
