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 self-referential, comedy-driven interactive novel where you guide a villainous student through a parody of sequel tropes, with tongue-in-cheek humor and a strong focus on player choice.

What players say

Players are split on this sequel. Many who played as a hero in the first game say their choices and favorite characters like Kinistra are barely acknowledged, while villain playthroughs fare better. Others enjoy the humor and branching plots on their own terms, though several note the academy setting is downplayed and the ending feels rushed.
