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 tense, methodical card-battling and dating sim set in a shadowy eldritch university where every decision and duel feels weighted with supernatural consequence.

What players say

Players praise the dark Lovecraftian visual novel and its unique card game, but are split on the difficulty. Opponents get strictly upgraded cards and more health, forcing you to counter each duel like a puzzle rather than building a general deck. Some find this rewarding, others call it unfair AI cheating that requires save scumming.
