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.

What players say

Players enjoy the multi-loop mystery with branching choices and multiple endings, noting it takes about 3–6 hours for the true ending. They praise the voice acting and find the story engaging, but some are frustrated by a lack of in-game guidance for finding all endings and a few unresolved plot threads.
