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.

What players say

Players say The Orphaned Soul is a very short visual novel, completable in about 10 to 15 minutes. The story and art are praised by some, but others find the choices shallow, mostly affecting a health meter with little impact on the plot. Opinions split on whether it feels like a complete game or a demo.
