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 dialogue-heavy point-and-click graphic novel where you weigh moral choices in a modern retelling of Faust.

What players say

Players say Soul Gambler is a short visual novel retelling the Faust story with comic book art. Choices feel inconsequential and the plot is predictable, but the story is entertaining for its length. Some note frequent grammatical errors in the text.
