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 slow, weighty narrative RPG where every choice carries the burden of a cruel and rigid world.

What players say

Players split on this sequel. Some enjoy the story and dark choices, but many complain that a hidden point system forces replaying chapters to get good endings, making choices feel hollow. Several also suspect AI-generated art and text, and say it has less variety than the original Sir Brante.
