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 suspenseful, story-driven puzzle horror game where exploration and emotional tension replace traditional combat.

What players say

Players call this a short, classic RPG Maker horror game with a charming but janky feel. Many note the translation has typos and some find the jumpscares predictable, while others say the atmosphere is well done. Reviews split on polish: some find unpolished death scenes and chase sequences goofy, others enjoy the retro charm. The story is seen as simple and leaves some plot points unexplained.
