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 slow-burn, text-driven investigation where you piece together unsettling Lovecraftian mysteries through reading and dialogue.

What players say
Players praise the Lovecraftian atmosphere and jazz soundtrack but are divided on the execution. Many find the pacing too slow and the English translation problematic, with odd phrasing and typos. Opinions split sharply on the story: some call it smart and creative, others find the chapters disconnected and the ending unsatisfying.
