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 tense interactive fiction where you navigate a branching narrative to uncover a dark truth and escape a harsh correctional institute.

What players say

Players praise the acting, story, and FMV quality, but many strongly criticize the business model: the game feels deliberately incomplete without paid DLC. Opinions are split on the branching and UI, some find it engaging, others call it tedious with forced waiting and poorly implemented relationship systems.
