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 slow-burning, text-driven mystery where you question everything through shifting perspectives and uneasy silences.

What players say

Players call this 'the Dark Souls of visual novels' for its relentless deaths and the need to replay to piece together the story. They praise the hand-crafted art and poetic prose, but some find the writing too dense and dislike the required multiple playthroughs.
