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 investigate a supernatural murder as a refugee werewolf, balancing detective work with your own beastly nature in a tense, choice-driven narrative.

What players say

Players are split on this visual novel sequel. Some praise its length, combat, and meaningful choices, while others find the political themes heavy-handed and the characters unengaging. The automatic text progression and underused gift mechanics frustrate some, and lore fans say the writing misrepresents the source material.
