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 disorienting, first-person exploration through a creepy mansion where fragmented memory and cryptic clues gradually unearth an unsettling mystery.

What players say

Players praise the many references to Junji Ito stories and the multiple endings, but opinions split on the short playtime and open ending. Some find the game too short and the story loose, while others enjoy it as a light, low-commitment experience.
