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 narrative-heavy fantasy experience where choices guided by emotion-driven tarot cards shape a personal quest for freedom and romance.

What players say
Players praise the dark fantasy world and the emotion-card mechanic that shapes the story, but nearly all warn the game was abandoned after its developer went bankrupt and has not seen updates since 2022. Reviews are split between those who found the writing and romance compelling and those who felt the relationships felt superficial.
