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 black-and-white comic-style ghost story that slowly unfolds through tense narration and atmosphere during a supernatural campus mystery.

What players say

Players praise the Junji Ito-inspired black and white art and creepy atmosphere, but opinions split on the story, with some calling it well-written and others finding it generic or full of inconsistencies. Complaints include poor English translation and mid-game backtracking that feels like filler.
