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 quiet, introspective walking simulator that invites you to explore the emotional meaning of home through a personal narrative.

What players say

Players describe a brief, free psychological horror about childhood trauma and memory, with hand-drawn art and anxiety-inducing sound design. The walk speed and text pacing frustrate some, and the English translation is noticeably rough. Others praise its emotional weight and respectful handling of difficult subjects.
