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 cute pixel pet simulator that slowly twists into a tense survival horror as your lovable digital creatures begin to escape and threaten you if their needs are not met.

What players say
Players describe Horatama as a short, cute Tamagotchi-like game where you care for adorable monsters that turn dangerous. Reviews note simple controls but a rough difficulty spike on the final level, and several call it an underrated horror title with a lot of personality.
