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 disorienting journey through a distorted fairy tale where choices lead to dark consequences and the only constant is uncertainty.

What players say

Players describe it as a short horror visual novel with dark themes and a happy true ending. The story touches on suicide and religious criticism, but the art and music feel inviting. Some find the writing repetitive, and players note the game is free with no achievements or Chinese support.
