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 contemplative, text-driven experience where you observe characters navigating a dreamlike world, with death as an inevitable force you can influence but not prevent.

What players say

Players praise the free, ambitious visual novel for its gorgeous art, music, and intricate multi-perspective storytelling, but warn that the dense writing, invented vocabulary, and punishing branching paths make a guide almost necessary for the good ending.
