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.

What players say

Players praise the cat character art and find the story fun, but split on the writing. Some call the English translation confusing with errors like mixing up pronouns, while others find the Japanese localization also odd. It is a short game with multiple endings, taking about 2 hours per route.
