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 choice-driven visual novel set in a dark fantasy world of demons and magic, where you navigate intrigue and betrayal through dialogue choices.

What players say

Players return for the signature Demonheart writing and morally gray characters, but opinions split on the two romance options. Some find the love interests lackluster, while others enjoy the toxic or sweet routes. The murder mystery keeps players engaged, though a few call the plot predictable. A handful of reviewers note the music is disappointing.
