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 tense and emotionally charged visual novel where player choices navigate a dark mystery with dramatic stakes.

What players say

Players are split on whether the game is a morbidly funny guilty pleasure or straightforward torture porn with a thin story. Reviewers agree it packs a huge amount of CGs and choices into a short runtime, and that the free 18+ patch from JAST is mandatory.
