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

A moody, choice-driven visual novel where each decision reshapes the story, creating a tense and introspective journey through branching paths.

What players say

Players are split on Jukai Maze. Many praise the clear flowchart and voice acting, but the shift to 3D models and protagonist's crude jokes, like fart humor, clash with the suspenseful tone for some. The story is shorter than its predecessor Kanna Maze, and while the ending feels rushed to a few, others enjoy the comedic-serious balance.
