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 tense, politically charged narrative where you navigate occult power struggles and moral dilemmas through text-based decisions.

What players say

Players praise the premise of starting as a powerful vampire leader rather than a fledgling, but many are frustrated by a save system that overwrites itself and can force restarts. The story offers meaningful choices early on, but later sections feel railroaded and the ending cuts off abruptly, leaving players split on replay value.
