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 brief, atmospheric point-and-click mystery where you explore a quiet, abandoned space, talk to a ghost, and piece together fragmented clues, leaving with a lingering sense of curiosity.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, melancholy visual novel about a journalist and a ghost in a haunted house. The story gets emotional and the secret ending is a highlight, though the game is very light on gameplay and some find the dialogue too long.
