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

You float through charmingly spooky scenes, possessing objects to gently prank and scare people out of buildings with a playful, cartoonish feel.

What players say

Players love the cute art and chaotic scaring mechanics, but many report frequent crashes, soft locks, and frustrating AI that can waste time especially on the final level. Completionists warn that getting all S-ranks and achievements is a long grind. Short playtime makes it a relaxed evening game for nostalgic returning players.
