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.

About

Occultic;Nine is an Japanese visual novel that is based on a light novel of the same name. The game is descibed as a "Paranormal Science Novel". The story follows nine idiosyncratic individuals. Little incongruities that occur around these nine eventually lead to a larger, unimaginable event that may alter what is considered common sense in this world. Despite being by the same makers and sharing a similar naming scheme, Occultic;Nine is not a part of 5pb's Science Adventure series of adventure games.
