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 say the story starts promising but builds to a rushed ending that barely involves mechs, despite the title. The game is a complete visual novel with romance, but reviewers criticize too many still images, poor animation, and a lack of mech combat or gameplay.
