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, dialogue-heavy investigation through a sterile yet decaying future society, where every clue raises more questions.

What players say

Players praise the ambitious non-linear mystery and detailed worldbuilding, but warn the Steam version is censored and requires a fan patch. The game is extremely dialog-heavy, with a slow pace and a frustrating interface that makes navigation a chore. Opinions split on whether the story's payoff justifies the effort, and many regret the sequel was never released.
