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 conversation with Death that blends dark humor, philosophical introspection, and surreal atmosphere as you answer personal questions shaping your fate.

What players say

A short visual novel where players answer personal questions and death calculates their expiration date. Players say it is more of a reflective quiz than a deep game, with cute art and a warm tone. Some find the writing bland and the choices too simplistic for nuanced lives.
