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 build and guide a girl group's path to fame through scheduling, training, and career decisions in a light management sim.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and soundtrack, but a consistent complaint is that the game ends abruptly, often in about five hours, when more content seems ready to unlock. Many say the characters and relationships are too shallow to invest in, and the lack of distinct endings between paths hurts replayability. Some see potential for future updates while others feel it is incomplete.
