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 wordy, character-driven visual novel with heavy emotional weight and adult themes, driven by past trauma and present tension.

What players say

Players are split on this adult visual novel: some praise its complex NTR story and emotional impact, while others criticize the protagonist's passivity and unrealistic scenarios. Lengthy dialogue and jarring art style changes are common complaints, but the game offers multiple endings and a full CG gallery.
