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 story and character interactions, especially the doomed yuri between Lily and Sally, but warn that the game heavily relies on knowledge of previous Physical Exorcism entries. There are three endings and a true ending that surprises fans, though some find the lack of combat or gameplay mechanics disappointing for the price.
