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 are split on the story: some find it compelling and disturbing, others call it predictable and full of tropes. Many complain that the choices in dialog rarely affect the outcome and the rough English translation puts people off, while the lack of a fast-forward button makes multiple playthroughs tedious. The game is longer than it first appears, often lasting 10 hours.
