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 lonely, fragmented journey through a cold and ruined city, where nothing is as it seems and the player is haunted by the weight of lost memories and unanswered questions.

What players say

Players are split on this very short, abstract visual novel. Many praise the music and atmosphere, but most agree the writing is shallow and the English translation is rough. The story tries to be philosophical but feels incomplete, with unclear endings.
