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 tense, emotionally heavy narrative experience where players confront raw and uncomfortable themes with deliberate pacing.

What players say

Players praise the comic book art and music, and the way the story unfolds from six different perspectives. The narrative tackles mental health and dark themes, with choices leading to multiple endings. Some find the plot confusing or overly complex, and romance endings are often unhappy.
