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

You navigate a short, quirky visual novel where your choices craft a personality that colors each small interaction.

What players say

Players describe Be You as a short, free visual novel that can be finished in 5-20 minutes. Opinions split on the humor: some enjoy the self-deprecating style and fourth wall breaks, while others find it edgy and off-putting. Many note the choices do not meaningfully change the story.

This page is from Underplayed Gems, a catalog of older and overlooked games. Not quite it? You can browse by platform and genre, or take this one into the 3D catalog and ask the Catbot for something closer.
