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 grim, blood-soaked visual novel steeped in nightmarish imagery and escalating violence.

About

Night after night, the same dream of a guillotine. A headhunting serial killer. And the "knights" in black who follow soon after. Irrationality that defies the realm of common sense begins to assault and devour the city. Those abnormalities are abominations that seek to destroy everything Ren has built up with a level of violence far surpassing that fight from two months before. Unless Ren decides to change, he will die. And if he does, he won’t be able to return to his old life. In a world swiftly going mad, Ren Fujii alone crosses the boundary between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
