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 lighthearted, character-driven visual novel with a quirky sense of humor and a relaxed, conversational pace.

What players say

Players are split on Without Within 2 -- some find it a charming, funny short sequel about a calligrapher's trip to Melbourne, while others call it a boring, poorly written kinetic novel with no interactivity and stiff pacing that dwells on transit details.
