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.

A text-driven interactive novel where you shape your own superhero origin story through choices in a conspiracy-laden modern setting.

What players say

Players appreciate the deep character customization and branching storylines, but many find the frequent and jarring point-of-view switches between the main character and others disorienting. Opinions split on the writing quality, with some calling it clunky or tedious and others enjoying the worldbuilding.
