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-paced emotional point-and-click with hand-painted art, heavy on remorse and uncertain moral choices.

What players say

Players describe Repentant as a very short, atmospheric point-and-click game set entirely in one location. It follows an unlikable protagonist trying to atone, but players are split on whether the story is meaningful or feels incomplete. The hand-drawn art is praised, while the puzzles are often called convoluted or illogical.
