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 tense detective story where you solve puzzles under a looming threat, driven by emotional stakes and a dark mystery.

What players say

Players praise the yuri romance and clever integration of Lovecraftian horror, but note the mystery is on the easy side. There are mixed feelings about the abrupt final act and some technical issues like crashes in the ending. A second part is eagerly awaited.
