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 moody, quiet night-time wander through a dim city, where atmosphere and story carry you more than action.

What players say

Players describe a heavily text-based vampire RPG with excellent writing, art and full voice acting, where choices carry into later acts and replaying as a different vampire type is encouraged. Several note light railroading and that blood hunger rarely creates pressure to hunt. Act 1 is called slow, with Act 2 named as where it opens up.
