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-burn, text-heavy detective story where you navigate a dark fantasy world through branching choices, with a tense, mysterious atmosphere.

What players say

Players say this is a short, intense visual novel with a compelling story and beautiful art. The branching choices and multiple endings encourage replaying, though some feel the transformation mechanics are underused.
