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 text-heavy, atmospheric visual novel where you unravel a mysterious, Lovecraftian conspiracy through dialogue and choices in a scholarly setting.

What players say

Players are split on this Lovecraft visual novel: some praise the story and choices with consequences, while others are put off by the AI-generated art and generic music. The game is short, with multiple endings, but it is unclear how much player choices matter until the end.
