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 slow-burning, text-heavy visual novel where vampiric intrigue and political maneuvering through dialogue choices shapes a tense urban power struggle

What players say

Players are split on this third New York visual novel. Some find the characters charming and the story satisfying, while others call it a boring, badly written downgrade with AI-generated art. Disappointment over retconned endings and no save import is common, and most agree it is not as good as the earlier games.
