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 long-form visual novel featuring tactical mind battles and a mysterious, atmospheric narrative set in a sealed-off yokai village.

What players say

Players praise the story and pacing early on, especially the human village perspective that gives outsiders a sense of mystery. The game leans more toward a visual novel than a mystery puzzle, and several note the budget is clearly limited.
