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 grim, emotionally charged 2D horror story that blends dark humor with a quick-paced, introspective journey into regret.

What players say

Players praise its short, story-driven psychological horror and creepy atmosphere, with many noting it is about greed and guilt. Some find the puzzles simple in the first half but mazey later, and a few criticize the character designs for being hard to take seriously.
