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 text-driven, choice-heavy superhero noir where you inhabit a telepathic villain's mind, navigating regret or doubling down on crime through your own imagination.

What players say

Players love the emotional punch and branching romance options, especially the polyamorous routes and the charged dynamics between Sidestep and characters like Ortega. Some find the plot slower than the first game, feeling more like setup for the next installment.
