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 slow-burn narrative where every small decision and hidden detail reshapes a dark, supernatural mystery.

What players say

Players praise its beautiful art, occult Victorian story, and branching choices with real impact, but some find it drags in later chapters. The game is long and released in episodes, with the final chapter arriving in 2018 as paid DLC.
