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.

A subdued, reflective interactive story about drifting through a purposeless job in a futuristic setting.

What players say

Players describe a very short, linear visual novel with no interactivity that takes about 20 to 30 minutes. The story has a sci-fi horror twist and an ending many call emotional and intense, though some find the pacing rushed and the writing shallow.
