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 somber, slow-burn investigation into a circus's hidden tragedies, driven by dialogue and atmosphere rather than action.

What players say

Players praise the plot as gripping with mysteries that intertwine, and say choices have meaningful weight that keeps tension high. They grow attached to characters while never being sure who to trust, which drives replay. A Chinese review reports many typos, untranslated text, and no manual save, making reading difficult.
