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 find it a decent casual visual novel with a low price and simple gameplay, but they are split on difficulty, some dislike the frustrating minigames while others note that exams can be retaken. The sexual content is only static images, which disappointed those expecting animation.
