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, introspective visual novel where you embody a monster stalking a tormented soul, with the atmosphere defined by minimalist hand-drawn art and a focus on quiet dread and philosophical weight.

What players say

Players step into the role of the voice inside a depressed woman's head, and many find the portrayal of grief and mental illness uncomfortably realistic. The game is short, around an hour or less, with three endings that reward replaying. Some reviewers compare it to Slay the Princess in how it plays with perspective.
