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
You explore an eerie, beautifully surreal village through a visual novel that feels like a haunting, slow-burning mystery with stunning paper-cut art.

What players say
Players praise The Midnight Sanctuary for its singular, surreal art style and unsettling atmosphere, drawing comparisons to a PS1 game or the Deadly Premonition of visual novels. It is a short, linear kinetic novel with no choices, fully voiced and animated, where you simply observe, a format that some find refreshing despite a lukewarm ending and occasionally rough animations.
