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 slow, solemn experience of weighing each soul's story before delivering a verdict that carries real consequence.

What players say

Players praise the moral ambiguity of its characters and choices, noting the somber atmosphere and short length (under an hour). A reviewer calls some choices borderline impossible without trial and error. The weight of judging souls feels real, but a couple of late characters come across as too cryptic.
