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.

What players say

Players praise the hefty text and tense atmosphere, but are split on whether the UI and portrait reuse ruin it. Many complain that the Steam version limits continues (3 resurrection cards) and point out glitches from the Orange Light port. The story's focus on ordinary people's survival instincts draws strong reactions, especially the Lujie route which some find moving and others call oily.
