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 weighty visual novel where every conversation feels laden with the sins and secrets of the dead, inviting quiet reflection on morality and redemption.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, atmospheric music, and writing that balances dark themes with humor. The story is slow to start but pulls players in, though some find the dialogue-heavy pacing tiring. Others report unclear objectives and a tough boss fight. Players are split on whether the game is complete, as only the first of three planned episodes is out.
