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 slow, atmospheric visual novel with point-and-click puzzles where you explore a frozen steampunk world and unravel a mystery through choices.

What players say

Players praise the story and setting, a cold grim world on the brink of war, with an alchemy puzzle minigame that some find refreshing and others boring. Reviews note multiple endings but say decisions have low impact, and there is little romance.
