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 darkly comedic visual novel where you navigate betrayal and trust in a high-stakes trial, driven by branching choices and puzzles.

What players say
Players praise the characters and pacing, noting the death game is grounded with no supernatural powers. The puzzles are word-based rather than escape rooms, and the true ending splits opinion. Some mention spelling errors and low production value, but most find it a solid indie entry comparable to Zero Escape.
