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, text-driven mystery where you observe character behavior to uncover a hidden threat among friends during an unsettling night at school.

What players say

Players say this is a short, glitchy RPG Maker thriller with no combat, focused on exploration. The story is an oddball slasher-horror concept. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to finish. There are translation errors and wall-walking glitches, but some enjoy its charm for the low price.
