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.

About

"A horror fiction kinetic novel made especially for the Game Boy (and Super Game Boy)! Go through a linear, zero-choice visual novel made up of 4 short horror vignettes, each inspired by very personal fears and anxieties, and using real photos that [the dev] adapted for the Game Boy- many taken with [their] actual Game Boy Camera! Just a small series of nightmares, all over in about 15 minutes or so. [They] promise~"
