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, mystery-driven visual novel set in a historical period of ideological conflict, with a slowly creeping psychological unease.

What players say

Players describe a short visual novel with two viewpoints that criticizes old-time foot binding and superstition. The story works, but choices are punishing and arbitrary: wrong picks lead to sudden, unexplained deaths, which hurts immersion. Many note the AI art is visible but not ugly, and the ending feels rushed.
