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.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story and bond between Amicia and Hugo, with many calling the ending devastating. The graphics and voice acting are widely admired. Opinions split on Amicia's character, some find her believably protective, others see her as selfish and reckless. Complaints include repetitive stealth, heavy auto-save stutter, and too many sections where you just walk.
