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, story-driven escape-room experience blending visual novel and first-person puzzles with psychological horror and a mysterious narrative.

What players say

Players compare Move 78 to the Zero Escape series for its mix of visual novel storytelling and escape room puzzles. The puzzles are tough but rewarding, with a hint system that prevents frustration. Some find the timed minigames tedious but appreciate they can be skipped. Opinions split on the story, with some finding it engaging and others calling it strange or unfinished.
