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 tense, darkly manipulative visual novel where you scheme to outwit and betray others in a deadly game of trust and logic.

What players say

Players are split on Birth ME Code. Fans of Zero Escape and Danganronpa who enjoyed the prequel find the story ambitious and the puzzles satisfyingly devious, but a vocal minority warns about an unskippable transphobic trope and calls the puzzles poorly designed. Many say the ending leaves more questions than answers and that the flowchart navigation is clunky.
