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 tense, choice-driven cinematic story where you guide three androids through a branching narrative that feels like an interactive drama.

What players say

Players are deeply invested in the story, often calling it an emotional experience where every decision carries weight. Many highlight the three main characters and how their paths intersect, though some note the politics feel heavy-handed and the gameplay is mainly quick-time events.
