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 slow, text-heavy mystery set in a gothic convent, driven by dialogue and atmosphere rather than action.

What players say

Players praise the character writing and atmosphere of this first volume, often calling it one of their favorite visual novels. The story is a slow-burning queer murder mystery set in a 15th-century convent, though some find the modern-feeling dialogue jarring for the setting. It ends on a cliffhanger that leaves many eager for Volume 2.
