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 disturbing and unsettling visual novel where every choice feels heavy with consequences, plunging you deeper into a dark and twisted narrative.

What players say
Players are split: some value the deeper character focus and story, while others find the visual novel format tedious with repetitive dialogue and a slow, corridor-walking map. The reused sprites from the first game are noted as sloppy, and the titular Book of Shadows itself barely appears until the prologue for the next game.
