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 investigate a serial murder case through dialogue, choices, and puzzles, all under a rain-soaked, tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players are split on this Hong Kong-set mystery visual novel. Some praise its Cantonese voice acting and multiple endings, but many criticize the writing as cringe or poorly translated, the protagonist as unlikeable, and the QTE and no-autosave mechanics as frustrating. Its short length and mixed puzzle design draw further debate.
