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

An interactive novel where your choices shape a dramatic superhero reality show, told entirely through text without visuals or sound.

What players say

Players say the game drowns its superhero plot in preachy social commentary, punishing choices that disagree with the author's views. Unlike the earlier Heroes Rise trilogy, it tells rather than shows discrimination and ends abruptly.
