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 text-heavy, hand-drawn visual novel that feels brooding and deliberate, with dark fantasy horror and emotionally charged choices.

What players say

Players praise the dark fantasy art and atmosphere, but nearly all agree the story is over in about two hours, leaving the interesting world and characters underdeveloped. The multiple endings are a highlight, though some find the English localization stilted.
