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 bleak, text-heavy journey through a feudal world where every hard-won choice carves your fate from oppression.

What players say

Players praise the story, worldbuilding, and branching narrative but are split on how much actual freedom they have. Many say the game punishes roleplay because key choices are locked behind stat checks, forcing you to calculate instead of decide. Others find the tension between character and mechanics thematically fitting for a world where fate is dictated by the gods.
