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 laid back interactive story where you choose which relationships to pursue through branching dialogue and scenes.

What players say

Players say the game is a grindy visual novel where you repeat the same daily tasks to slowly progress. Many note the story offers no real choices, the art is dated, and without a guide early hours are punishing. Some enjoy the characters and progression, but most agree the repetition kills the pace.
