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 test a horror game as a debugger, spotting out-of-place bugs while the game itself feels tense and unsettling, but with a darkly comedic twist.

What players say

A short, absurd horror-comedy where players spot deliberate bugs in a parody of Japanese office life. The humor lands well, though the English translation is poor and the loop wears thin before the four endings. Players compared it to other joke-heavy anomaly games like Love Love School Days.
