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

Drifting through Japanese mountain roads at night feels tense and surreal, with a lingering sense of dread from lurking supernatural threats.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many say the drifting is broken, cars feel identical, and the horror element is just random assets with cheap jumpscares. A few find the premise original and the music catchy, and note the game has improved with updates, but they also acknowledge the controls need getting used to.
