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 slow, uneasy walking simulation through a family's tragic story, driven by eerie sound design and the unsettling quiet of realistic spaces.

What players say

Players compare it to a low-budget Chilla's Art game with broken English and Japanese-only dialogue. It is short at about 1-3 hours and has no save system, so you must finish in one sitting. The horror comes from an unsettling story rather than jumpscares, but the narrative is confusing even with multiple endings. Many recommend waiting for a sale.
