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.

A slow, reflective visual novel that pairs cute character designs with an atmospheric, melancholic magical battle narrative.

What players say

Players are split on this visual novel. Many praise the art and voice acting, but some find the story slow and repetitive. It ends on a big cliffhanger, which excites some and frustrates others. Players highlight the romance potential between characters, though some call it yuri bait.
