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

You walk left through the same neighborhoods each day as an escalating sense of dread creeps in, punctuated by sudden horrific events.

What players say

Players are split: some love it as a funny, creepy tribute to Korone, while others say it is barely a game, just clicking to slowly scroll left through scenes with cheap jumpscares and a zoom-in gimmick. It is very short, under an hour, and critics say watching a video is the same experience.
