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 lighthearted satirical visual novel where you click through a comedic political campaign, meeting quirky characters and making choices that shape the story.

What players say

A visual novel that teaches Canadian civics with Ace Attorney-style debate scenes. Players praise the accessible, lighthearted tone and the soundtrack. Some note the Unity default graphics and performance issues, and the game is not for those turned off by real politics.
