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 tense first-person walking experience through a short, atmospheric Japanese horror story with VHS effects and multiple endings.

What players say

Players say it is a very short horror walking simulator, around 15 to 30 minutes, with an atmospheric Japanese urban legend setting. However, reviews note the translation is rough and English subtitles are missing despite being advertised, and windowed mouse behavior is a problem on multi-monitor setups.
