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, atmospheric horror game with puzzle exploration and a dark, story-driven feel set in a mythologically-infused 1960s Taiwan.

What players say
Players praise the story and atmosphere, often calling it haunting and unsettling without relying on jump scares. It is a short point-and-click adventure set in 1960s Taiwan, with many noting it explores the White Terror period. Some mention a review bomb by mainland Chinese players upset about the developer's political comment.
