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 text-driven emotional journey through a tense cyberpunk world with hand-drawn visuals and a focus on queer romance and racial conflict.

What players say

Players praise its ambitious fusion of Buddhist and Taoist philosophy with a sci-fi visual novel, but many find the dense text and esoteric references a barrier. Some call it brilliant for those with the knowledge, while others struggle with the literary demands and unclear endings.
