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 dense, text-only narrative where every choice feels weighty in a shadowy, noir-tinged sci-fi world.

What players say

Players praise the writing and lovecraftian action story, comparing it to Mass Effect and Delta Green. Many note choices feel limited despite impactful branching later, and recommend seeing the bad ending at least once.
