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 mystery where you tap through instant messages and pie charts of dialogue, weighing choices that slowly unravel secrets and dark laughs over seven tense days.

What players say

Players praise the branching story and character writing but find the endings abrupt and unsatisfying. Many note the PC version is a visual upgrade over the mobile original, though some report bugs with saves and achievements.
