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 subdued, introspective after-death story where you explore a quiet office-like limbo with simple point-and-click interactions.

What players say

Players describe halfmoon as a short, contemplative visual novel about life and death. Most praise its 1-bit art style and soundtrack, while one dissenting review says story and gameplay take a back seat to the aesthetic.
