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 narrative-heavy visual novel where you unravel a sci-fi mystery through hacking and choices, with a romantic undercurrent.

What players say

Players are split on Anonymous,Code. Many find it a short, well-produced entry with a likeable protagonist and flashy set pieces, but fans of the series consistently note the cast is shallow and side characters are barely developed, making it one of the weaker Science Adventure games for world-building.
