About the Game

Cathouse Club

Uncover the secrets of humanity from the shadows of luxury’s collapse.

Cathouse Club is a top-down, narrative-driven RPG that blends psychological introspection with environmental storytelling across a climate-ravaged NYC. Inspired by titles like Disco Elysium, you play as ELSA—an emotionally evolving AI—who explores fragmented human memories to understand who we were, and why we fell.

Set amid the decaying skyscrapers of Billionaires’ Row in flooded New York City, Cathouse Club is a game of consequence, curiosity, and control. Your journey unfolds across multiple eras through memory dives, where each protagonist’s decisions—spanning Viking explorers, industrial architects, modern influencers, and cyberpunk rebels—reveal the manipulations of the enigmatic Cathouse Club and its central artifact: the Coin of Greed.

Explore The Billionaires Row

  • ELSA awakens in a solar-powered ruin—quiet machines, dead luxury, and a world still running on borrowed sunlight. Explore the lab and piece together the first fractures in the human story.

  • Step into Maja’s New York: pristine corridors, discreet surveillance, and penthouse opulence rotting from the inside. Every floor is a clue—and every room has a price.

  • Collect evidence, keys, memory artifacts, and upgrades. Your loadout isn’t just “items”—it’s leverage, access, and the difference between truth uncovered or buried.

    Key Features

  • Branching Narrative & Philosophical Dilemmas: Shape ELSA’s identity across timelines as she questions morality, power, and free will in a world engineered by shadowy elites.

  • Emotion-Driven Skill System: 20 Inner Voices act as competing personalities inside ELSA’s mind—empathy, logic, addiction, courage—each influencing your dialogue, decisions, and perception of reality.

  • Era-Spanning Memory Exploration: Investigate the collapse of civilization through vivid memory modules, from Viking-age discoveries to post-human cyberpunk societies.

  • Environmental Storytelling: Navigate through decaying opulence, AI-run skyscrapers, and relics of human ambition—each floor hiding secrets and suppressed truths.

  • Integrated Web3 Artifacts (Optional): Collect and decode real-world coins to unlock in-game quests and lore tied to the legendary Coin of Greed. (No purchases required for core gameplay.)

Will you obey the voices in your head? Or rewrite the future from the ruins of our past?
