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 short, atmospheric walking simulator that mixes moments of quiet anxiety with surreal dog encounters, offering relaxed exploration punctuated by occasional low-key frights.

What players say

Players call it a very short horror comedy walking simulator with a cute Shiba Inu, but many warn the barking is painfully loud and poorly mixed, calling it 'ear rape' and 'migraine simulator'. The art style is typical of Lu's games, but the human NPCs look like board game pieces and the rough controls and translation are consistent with the developer's other titles.
