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 gentle, character-driven visual novel about overcoming prejudice and connecting with others in a magical school setting.

What players say

Players praise the dual-version selling strategy where Witch and Wizard editions share a core story but differ in narrative order and character perspectives. The art by Ohgami Ashito receives consistent acclaim. Split on the story: some find it a heartwarming friendship tale with cozy school life, while others call it flat and lacking major highs, partly due to its stage-play origins.
