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 dark, atmospheric visual novel where you piece together a fragmented mystery through puzzles and branching dialogue aboard a haunted cruise ship.

What players say

Players praise the huge amount of CG and full voice acting for the low price, but the writing is heavily criticized as油腻 and juvenile, with excessive sexual innuendo and an off-putting female lead that some find unbearable. The interface is also clunky.
