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 bleak, philosophical journey through a half-dead world where quiet moral decisions shape a short, text-driven experience.

What players say

Players describe a short, free visual novel about an undead warrior on a bleak journey. The writing is poetic to some but feels like amateur fanfiction to others, and opinions split on whether its atmospheric melancholy is thoughtful or pretentious. Choices lead to four endings, though some find them arbitrary.
