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 short, atmospheric visual novel with a slow-burn sense of dread as you explore an old mansion's mystery

What players say

Players praise the unique blend of 2D visual novel art with 3D exploration in a creepy mansion, calling it a fresh take on the genre. The atmosphere and Lovecraftian feel are strong, but the Early Access version is very short, leaves story threads dangling, and objectives can be unclear. Some report translation issues and a non-resizable window.
