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

An entirely text-based interactive novel where you navigate alliances and moral dilemmas to topple a vampiric regime through your choices alone.

What players say

Players praise the writing style but say the story is preachy and railroads the player into a single correct path. The game is often called shorter and weaker than other Choice of Games World of Darkness titles, especially The Beast of Glenkildove, and several reviews note that stats feel meaningless because outcomes are negative regardless of build.
