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
You sit at a desk, casually flipping through files to decide who lives or dies, with a darkly humorous tone and the weight of small choices slowly reshaping your world.

What players say
Players enjoy the premise of being a grim reaper with a desk job, but many find it repetitive after the first hour. The game offers multiple endings and a new game plus mode that some say is where it gets interesting. Players split on replay value, with achievement hunters noting it requires many playthroughs.
