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 bleak, slow-paced 2D side-scrolling journey through an old man's haunting memories and oppressive reality.

What players say

Players say it is a short psychological horror adventure that takes about 1-2 hours to complete. The story about grief and memory gets praise, but many find the narrative confusing and the English translation poor. There are minor jump scares and simple puzzles, though the repetition and lack of a save option frustrate some.
