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 moody, gothic visual novel where unraveling a magical pact's mystery feels tense and contemplative.

What players say

Players describe a surreal gothic visual novel focused on philosophical debates and moral reasoning between supernatural beings. The dense lore and abstract arguments can be hard to follow, and the game demands careful reading. Reviews note surreal character art, a branching story with 13 endings, and some technical issues like inconsistent voice volume and grammar errors.
