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.

What players say

Players describe an ambitious RPG Maker horror game with a long story and multiple endings that draws clear inspiration from Silent Hill. Many note significant translation and grammar problems, and several report severe frame rate drops that make later chapters unplayable. Opinion splits on the puzzles, with some finding them clever and others calling them tedious or annoying.
