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 methodical, low-pressure investigation of a small city's occult mysteries, where the feel is more about unraveling dialogue and rumors than action or jump scares.

What players say

Players say the visual novel is very short, lasting about an hour, with static AI-generated art and no animations. The story revolves around a cult mystery with multiple endings, but reviewers are split: some enjoy the plot and art, while others criticize the writing for spelling errors and the adult scenes as minimal and unsatisfying.
