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 free-to-play RPG where you search for a missing friend by solving puzzles and exploring the neon-lit secrets of a hidden nightclub.

What players say

Players are split on the AI-generated visuals: some find them stylish and atmospheric, others say characters look like plastic and share eerily similar faces. The story is intriguing but the game is a very short prologue with little meaningful choice, leaving many wanting more.
