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 dark, emotionally charged visual novel that feels like a tense, surreal journey through fractured friendships and psychological turmoil.

What players say

Players are split on Mediterranea Inferno. Some appreciate its surreal art, horror elements, and low price for a short visual novel. Others say the three gay protagonists feel like walking clichés about queerness, mental health, and substance abuse, and the experience can be repellent. The game takes about one to three hours per playthrough, but has no fast-forward for replays.
