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, emotionally heavy narrative that blends ancient Chinese underworld mythology with tragic romance and psychological tension.

What players say

Players praise the unique modernization of traditional Chinese hell with pop-culture references, but are divided on the writing: the art and music carry a story that some find disjointed and shallow. Voice acting is a mixed bag, with standout performances alongside grating ones, and many criticize the abundance of meaningless choices.
