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, reflective drive through a corrupt city where every conversation and decision carries weight, trapped in the shadow of past mistakes.

What players say

Players praise the noir story and the unique perspective of seeing passengers only through a rearview mirror, but some warn about a permadeath mechanic tied to repetitive QTEs that can erase the save file, a surprise for a visual novel. The game runs about three hours with multiple endings.
