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 text-heavy narrative about scraping by in a sleazy, colorful, and corrupt alien movie industry where every decision risks your health, sanity, or ideals.

What players say

Players praise the writing, worldbuilding, and memorable characters in this free visual novel. They enjoy the light RPG and budget management mechanics, though one reviewer finds it more linear than expected. The game offers about 4-5 hours per playthrough and has good replay value.
