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

Players creep through a creepy 1980s Japanese town, hiding from monsters while piecing together a grim family mystery.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric Japanese horror setting and tense monster stealth, drawing strong comparisons to Fatal Frame and Silent Hill. The story is considered emotional but gloomy, with puzzles that some find too difficult. A common frustration is that seeing all endings requires replaying the whole game from scratch.
