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-driven visual novel where you navigate a dark fantasy world and a real-life crisis, balancing romance and lore with a tone that mixes emotional weight and dark comedy.

What players say

Players love the story of a fantasy writer pulled into her own world and say it has meaningful choices and good replayability. Some note the art style changed partway through, and a few wish there were guides to avoid bad endings.
