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, methodical escape room puzzle game where the environment shifts based on your sin, offering either relaxed exploration or punishing time pressure.

What players say

Players are split on Forgiveness: some enjoy the challenge of its seven deadly sins-themed rooms, while others find the puzzles illogical and the game too short at about two hours. Lighting is a frequent complaint, with clues invisible unless brightness is turned up, and the controls are described as janky.
