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 low-stakes, quirky indie RPG where you navigate the casual mishaps of a careless college student's internship in an unusual NGO, with playful dialogue and localized subtitles.

What players say

Players describe a linear adult visual novel with extensive daily chores that pad runtime to about four hours. Art is split: character portraits are liked, but some CG quality disappoints. The Taiwanese setting and dark humor earn praise, while the repetitive commute and lack of choices frustrate many.
