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-driven strategy game where you manage time and relationships under a thin veil of Lovecraftian horror, balancing academic life with secret manipulation.

What players say
Players praise the unique Lovecraftian setting but criticize the restrictive day-night cycle that makes time fly by, clunky UI, and bugs. Many see potential but consider the game unfinished, with missing art and infrequent updates.
