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

You read and make choices that steer a light urban fantasy tale of magic school and supernatural threats, driven entirely by imagination.

What players say

Players say the writing and characters improve significantly over the first game, with tighter scene transitions and more romance content. The story builds to a dramatic ending but some feel the romance remains somewhat tacked on. A few find the stat and choice system better than the predecessor, though one reviewer disliked the voting mechanic.
