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

You read through a story, making choices to survive a mysterious island while a darkly comedic audience watches and donates in real time.

What players say

Players praise the art and story but are sharply divided on the game's execution. Many call out terrible English translation and gacha-style currency gating that blocks story progress in a paid title. A growing number say development has been abandoned after a few event updates, leaving promised DLC characters unreleased.
