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 tense, story-driven visual novel where you unravel a bloody time loop aboard a submerged train, mixing mystery and psychological horror with detective-like puzzle solving.

What players say

Players praise the ambitious time-loop plot but are split on the writing quality: the story is clever and keeps good pace, but the prose can feel clunky and characters get underdeveloped. Many compare it favorably to Steins,Gate and Zero Escape for its ideas, while noting it is much shorter and less polished.
