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 story-heavy adventure with atmospheric visuals and a card battle system, where you investigate crimes and make moral choices that affect the nation.

What players say

Players praise the religious dystopian setting and hand-drawn art, but many find the card battle system poorly explained and the characters underdeveloped. The game is clearly a first episode that never got a continuation, leaving the story unresolved.
